Xb12R 2007, shifting was bad, bad in neutral, and feels like the clutch is not working... Ok. please come in, i think i know the problem.

 

XB12R 2007, primairy cover broken, the clutch lever has a lot off free play.. ok check the mechanism.

 

XB12R 2007, primairy cover broken, just as i thought, the cover broke the holding edge for the clutch mechanism .. lucky we don't see this very much, but it can happen from time to time.

 

XB12R 2007, primairy cover broken, ok quicky as this is a daily driver... i will do it right away , drain the fluid, remove the shifter.
