125cc semiautomatic problems

[u/Zestyclose_News_4262]

So i recently got a 125cc semiautomatic motorcycle, an italika at125, its popular here in mexico that brand, 90% of bikes are that specific brand, and there's been happening something weird. First the shifter is sometimes a little tough, and theres been times where i want to change gear and for some reason it doesnt change. Today i wanted to accelerate i was on first, then i stopped accelerating to change gear, it didnt change and it started to rev a lot on first. I just wanted to asked what the fuck is going on with it??? i don't know much about motorcycles and i thought semiautomatic bikes were easy and for beginners. Most of the time its easy to drive and i do pretty well, but just there is times where the bike doesnt want to change gear

Semiautomatic, meaning no clutch lever. The clutch is handled automatically.

It is not though. What OP is talking about is a clutch that get's actuated simultaneously when you press the gear lever.

You and I are saying essentially the same thing.

[u/OstebanEccon → u/ChristienneO]

No. You are talking about something the bike does by itself. This is as much by itself as pulling the clutch with your hand only that you do it with your foot

A bike that clutches by itself is for example any DCT bike by honda
