Lazy R7000 shift lever

My Shimano 105 (R7000) RH shifter release trigger 'sticks' in the inboard position. It can be flicked back in place and continues to operate, but compared with the LH shifter it is 'soft', as if a spring had lost its sproing.

Can anyone diagnose please?

The rubber hood is not interfering in some way?

maybe it's the cable sticking rather than the lever?

Worth checking, both suggestions, but all is quite new and in good order — hood is in good shape, cables are recent, well dressed, and greased before installation. All was working perfect...then it wasn't.

Wd40 on the hinge yet? Tried with the hood pulled back? Also check if the cable head is still properly seated in the ratchet.

I'll have another go at flooding the interior with WD40 — it's probably just solidified grease

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
