3rd gear shifting; issues

[Butch Cassidy]

Just bought a new 2019 and I'm breaking it in..... but 3rd gear is almost always difficult, hard to shift. It really takes a conscious effort and this happens mostly at the higher rpms... (but nothing over 6000).
Anyone else have such an issue.? I'm thinking that it needs another clutch plate (as I have read should be installed).
What say you.?

If it is 'new' i.e. from a dealer and still under warranty then I'd take it back to them to sort.

A clutch would only prevent shifting if it was dragging and this would affect all gears so I don't see that as being the issue. That said bleeding it may help or tying back the clutch lever overnight will often help remove any lingering air.

yeah, thanks. I will notify the dealer on the initial maintenance .... just trying to inform myself beforehand.
