Hi Dorien,
To me, this sounds more like a clutch problem than a transmission
problem - perhaps your clutch input hub is notched? For whatever reason,
it seems like that problem shows up much more pronounced when things get
heated up. Do you know the condition/history of the input hub?
Hi Greg,
Thanks for the idea. No I have not taken the engine / treansmission out,
so I don't know it's condition.The clutch seems to release well even
when hot so that part is OK.

Hi Guys,
On my 1967 V7 in the first 1/2 hour of riding the shifting is quiet,
smooth and nice. With time it gets clonky in sound and not always
smooth. I have 90w oil in the box. Is the case expanding with heat
causing the problem? My 61 Falcone uses engine oil in it's box. Nicest
shifting bike I have ever had and after 200 miles of hard driving no
changes. Any thoughts?
