DCornelius Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 So, i posted earlier about my bike. Got it running(battery, spark plug.. think it still needs carb work.. but thatll be later) Anyway, I can get it into first and drive it around the block.. but Im having problems getting to another gear or getting back to nuetral. After fiddling with it for awhile, i started to realize that the gear selector itself was waaaaaay looser than any other gear selector ive ever dealt with. Normally, you click down and it snaps back, click up, it snaps back up. etc etc. On this bike.. you snap it down.. it stays down, you snap it up, it stays up. Like waaaay down and way up. What could be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could be wrong? Take the left rear cover off (where the shift lever goes through). There's a spring loaded return in there. I would guess that something is broken, or stuck.

I had a brainfart, and was thinking about the one for the clutch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
