2nd gear problem

Has 2nd gear ever been a problem for the CRM's?

Reason i ask is that I'm finding it hard to find 2nd gear when changing up from 1st on the move. When it'sd stationary i can find 2nd easily just when moving. It's kinda annoying too because I'm not game to pull out in front of cars if i miss 2nd. Once in 2nd its fine, doesnt pop out or anything.

Is there something wrong with the gearbox or just my bad technique? What is the technique used by you guys?

Thanks for any help

So I'm guessing it's just my technique. I've figured that if i let the clutch out quickly while i still have pressure on the gear lever makes the bike pop into gear. But i have to let the clutch out quick or else it wont go.

Any comments on technique or possible problems?

You probably have some wear on the gear change components. Next time you split the cases be aware that you might be spending money on this.
