hi all. i seem to be having trouble selecting 2nd gear, every time i go to select 2nd it selects neutral instead. ive been told that its the selector inside the gear box and that i would have to have the engiene split to access it. could anybody help with some good advice on what to do?cheers guys

selector forks or drum would be my guess, my trusty old DT would occasionally pop from second into neutral if i got lazy... im afraid it is a split case jobby

How long have you been riding the bike? can you get all the other gears or is that it 1st and neutral?, oil in the box?, lever properly adjusted to your foot?, shaft not stiff in the case?, you are aware it takes a bigger kick to get across neutral and into second cleanly.

All items to consider before splitting the cases.

Another thing to check is your chain tension-believe it or not :huh:
