Shifting Issues

[Shocker]

In addition to my banshee, I have a 2000 Honda 300EX. It has been having shifting problems lately and I was looking to see if you guys have some input on what it could be. Basically, it goes into first gear fine, but 2nd and higher it pops out of gear and will not stay in gear at all. Additionally, I have to slow down and shift it back into first gear to even start the process again. Any ideas of what this could be? Thanks a million!

Okay, Lets see here. Is that the 300ex with shaft drive and a sideways engine?

 

Either way, you should get the clymer manual. There may be "shift star" that is exposed on the clutch side of the engine possibly that may need adjustment. This is speculation tho because i havent open that engine before. On a banshee and most quads i suppose, the shift rod goes all the way through the case to the other side to turn a shift star that has a spring "ball detent" style roller that keeps the bike in that gear. IF your bike is set up this way, you should be able to pull the clutch cover and examine the star and springs. Beyond that, you may have to split the case to get to the tranny. Like i said, Torrent the Clymer manual or buy one. GL and keep us updated!

Makes sure your clutch is good and adjusted correct of course. But see if your essential screw is adjusted right. Also check the shift start. If someone took too much metal off, it will pop out of gear. Also sometimes that along with a shift pro shift kit might make it pop out of gear.

 

Just refer to the clymer manual to adjust those things. But remember the bike only shift properly when in motion.

shift fork fucked

x3, if it pos out, but the drum still has it engauged, that means the fork isn't pusing it all the way in. usually from forcing it into gear when it doesn't want to go, or rounded dogs, which means you need a new gear as well. i have also seen the drum channel worn off at 2nd gear peak, but the 2nd gearset and fork were also damaged as a result.

something inside is screwed. maybe even the drum has moved out of place . and its acting like a shift fork.

 

anyways sell it for scrap and buy a smoker!
