I've got a 98 K1200RS that has 60k and while I was riding it last weekend the bike kept popping out of 4th gear and going into 3rd. It did it about 15 times during the 1800 miles I rode.
Here's what I've noticed:
The problem is intermitent, sometimes it wont pop out of fouth and other times it will take only a few min of ridng in 4th before it drops into third.
The gearbox goes directly to 3rd gear. No false neutrals.
It seems to be most likely to pop out of 4th when the engine rpm is about 3000-4000
The gearshift linkage is sloppy loose, all other gears engage fine.
Any ideas on what could cause this? Do you think if I adjusted the shift linkage (which I am planning on doing anyway) it would take care of the problem?
