The creator demonstrates the actual technique, letting the clutch out and nudging the gears slightly forward or back to get clean engagement with the straight-cut gears. There's no walkaround, specs, or general review here, just a quick practical demo aimed at current owners already experiencing this exact shifting problem.
Posted by the frankie Z photos channel, appears to be an owner sharing a hands-on fix from personal experience with the machine.
The CT2025 uses straight-cut gears, so the gear teeth can land nose on nose instead of meshing, making the shifter feel sticky or hard to push into gear.
Let the clutch out, then nudge the gears slightly forward or backward while shifting. This repositions the straight-cut gear teeth so they engage smoothly instead of binding.
No. The video advises not to force it. Instead, let the clutch out and move the gears a tiny bit in either direction until they engage cleanly.
