Evening all
Just had my Jota jumping out of gear this afternoon. At least that what it felt like.
The bike lost all its drive and I needed to reselect the gear. It happened again a few minutes afterwards
Don't know whether i Just need to adjust the mechanism or if its something more sinister.
Has anyone else suffered the same problem ?
Regards
 
Check the selector arm is central to the pin on the selector drum (under the triangular plate on the RHS).
Might be lucky and find that you only need to adjust the eccentric cam.
 
hi, grant is right take a look behind the cover my lock nut came loose after six years use the day before I went to Italy, so hopefully its an easy fix.

You need to search gear change selection...if you have not touched this before check out what is involved...it is simple in theory but not in practice! With wear factored in.And of course oil will flood out when you remove that cover unless on side stand? But you will need to rotate the rear wheel, so that alone is not a solution.if it only does it occasionally check your linkages arevlubed and free and clutch working nicely as those can make a difference....gear lever right place for your foot? Don't rush the changes.these ain't modern bikes!
 
Thanks to all who gave their advice. I was thinking the worst, which it still might be. But good to know it could be something less drastic. I'm going in and will report back
Cheers
