kawiking Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 sounds like shift shaft .. take off the clutch cver , and look at the shifter linkage Quote
98_shee Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Pull the clutch cover, clutch and basket. Check the shift shaft where it turns the star ive had them mess up on me. You don't need to split the cases unless the problem isnt in the shift shaft. Quote

maxtrax Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Will it shift between 5-6 or is it just stuck in one? I had my eccentric adjuster break of and keep it from shifting properly. there was also enough play between my sidecover that the shift shaft popped out of the star and reengaged it funny to cause the same thing (stuck in 5/6). Either way you'll have to pull the sidecover. Quote

Ive been having problems with it miss shifting and going into neutral when i shift between 2nd and 3rd, and between 3rd and 4th. does anyone here think i need to grind the points on the shift star?

swrbansheeboy Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 i think your getting ahead of yourself. as others have suggested pull your clutch cover and inspect your shift shaft, as max said you may have just sheared the adjuster off. if so you can replace it without pulling anything, it's a bitch but it's alot easier and quicker than pulling the clutch assembly. i've broken the tab on the end of the shift shaft in half before also. either way pull the cover, grab a flashlight and check it out before you start getting into pulling everything apart yet. you can tip the bike up on it's side too kepp from draining the oil but if you need to pull the shaft out you will need to drain it. otherwise all the oil will drain out of the hole where the shaft goes and usualy get all over your shoes. done that a time or two....lol Quote
