buzzojoe Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I just picked up an LB50 Chappy. It runs well, but the shifting between first and second gear is VERY sluggish. I've never even ridden a Chappy before this one, so I don't know how firmly it is supposed to shift. It starts out fine, and after it gets to about 10 or 12 MPH it kind of just slides into second gear. It's not a solid shift at all and you wouldn't even notice the shift except for the change in engine RPM's and sound. Is this normal for these bikes? It works okay, but is just very sloppy when it shifts. I read on one website that if the clutch or clutch springs are worn it will not go back into first gear when you stop, but my bike doesn't have that problem. Thanks in advance for any advice!

brad460 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't know if it's normal either, but my 78 LB50 works the exact same way. Just seems to "ooze" into 2nd gear. I'm going to guess that it's normal. I used to be around a 80 Chappy, and it was not like that. Sorry I can't be of much help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
