I have the XT Sl M-760 rapid fire gera levers.Only problem is,they aint so rapid fire anymore.They seem "sticky" when down shifting to the smaller cogs.Sometimes it takes 2 pushs of the trigger for the rear derailleur to move out and the chain going onto a smaller cog.Or sometimes the 2 smallest cogs cant be enguaged at all.The chain is new and clean/oiled,rear cassette is also new,and the rear derailleur is clean/oiled and 2 new jockey wheels fitted.So do any experts on here recommend taking apart the shift levers and spraying a bit of WD40 inside them???Is it easy enough to take apart the shift lever body??It looks like 3 small screws hold it al together??Thanks in advance,Micky

    clean/lube the cables.

    Make sure the mech hanger is not bent and the stops are set correctly.
