linkage adjustment?

Hi Ritchie

Have you checked the adjustment of the brake linkages is as per the diagram in the manual?
Each of the bell cranks should be set so that they operate from just before right angled to just after, to get maximum leverage.
Try backing off the adjustment of the links to the actuators to give a bit more play and see if the drag when gear changing goes away.
