Hello,
I'm new to the ST1300 and this forum. Have just bought a 2008 model (in the UK) and when I set off, the gear change from 1st to 2nd is fine, but it won't change up to 3rd until I've done about 7 or 8 miles. Then it magically becomes fine, nice crisp changes up and down. The bike has been standing for some months (previous owner died). All oils have been changed. Could the problem be the linkage sticking and not returning correctly to its 'neutral' position? But why does it correct itself?
Hoping someone might have some helpful ideas.
Thank you in anticipation.
Malcolm
