Default Gear changing light/soft

Hi All,

Have owned my '09 s2k for 6months now and over the last couple of weeks I have realised the gear changing has become really light/soft/easy. I admit to driving it hard and I don't think this is to do with the clutch as isn't slipping and stalls if I try and pull off in 3rd...

Is this normal?

if you shift higher in the RPM band it is easier to do gear changes.

When you say lighter do you mean the clutch pedal? If so Check your clutch fluid. Your master cylinder could be slightly leaking causing loss in pressure. Mine leaks ever so slightly and needs to be filled every 6 months or so. I can tell when it's low because the clutch will feel much "lighter" than normal
