Gurnzz Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 my clutch blew when i was at silver lake. i replaced when i got home, it was definently gone. i also replaced clutch cable. went riding following day shee seemed to pull srong in every gear but second. when hitting second under heavy throttle tires dont even spin, once shifting into 3rd shee goes sideways like shee should be doing. so apparenty the power is not getting to the tires in 2nd gear. not really sure where to go with this. is there a gear that can wear out and cause this problem ??? any help,input,suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!! thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a mark on both and go ride it. If mark misaligns, there is your problem. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurnzz Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 im fairly sure there not only because it pulls hard in first and every other gear but 2nd but ill take a look at it. thanks for the suggestion!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurnzz Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 hey firebanshee if the press plate were worn dont u think it would have same symptoms in all gears rather than just in 2nd? im not doubting u cuz ur shee looks nasty and i assume u prolly know more about them than i do. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolman Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have had to replace second gear twice in about 4 years the dogs on the side of the gear wear out . But you can usally hear it slipping it makes a clicking noise very easy to hear other than that the bike runs fine. I can only guess there is a heavy load shifting from first to second I have repaced all the bearings and the shaft the gears ride on and the gear second meshes with. This time I bought a used tranny alot cheaper. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
