Hello fourm,
I feel like a total loser....got my brand new 2012 CBR250R with ABS and just went for my first ride. After 3.1 miles (about 10 minutes of riding), I was not able to get the bike going in first gear, it kept stalling. Is it possible I overheated the clutch?
I pulled over and could not even get the bike to go into neutral...nothing, i believe it is stuck in first gear. I have been riding for many years but am at a total loss to figure out what happened. The bike was running great for those brief 3.1 miles...and it was shifting just fine. It was a long walk home with the bike off, clutch engaged and rolling it back home. Talk about eating some humble pie! My old nighthawk was a tank....hoping this isn't a big problem with my brand new bike. The clutch is VERY sensitive and first gear is a lot tougher to get going in than the nighthawk...Thx for any suggestions/ideas...yeah, i know, this sounds crazy!
