soulboy Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 So about two weeks ago I broke a clutch cable and had to ride it home by lightly popping it into gear. I put a new one in and found that when I put it into second gear and cracked the throttle just a bit it would buck foreword and rev in short spikes of power like it did not want to be in that gear. I took it all apart , checked for wear, grooving on the clutch basket and even replaced the star and put a pro-shift on it. Still no second gear!!!! I'm I missing something here? Could this be some sort of air leak, wiring, or fuel issue? If so, why only second gear? Quote
soulboy Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Posted August 25, 2010 Sounds like a bent shift fork, Do they bend in ways that you can't tell just by looking at them? I looked at them, but hell I don't really know what I'm looking for. It's only my second time splitting the cases. Quote
TIM LUTZ Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 Yea, pretty hard to tell just by looking. Put it in second gear with the cases split and see if the gear is going in all the way. Quote

Do you know if all shifting forks are the same from year to year. Will RZ350 ones work? Thanks for your help. Quote
dajogejr Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 The OE RZ forks had a roller on them instead of dowel looking pins. I believe if they are truly original factory RZ forks you'll need the RZ Drum. That being said...if they're replacement RZ forks, yes, I'm pretty sure they'll work. To be honest....you can get GOOD used shift forks for cheap, just another alternative. Quote

Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea if these are RD or RZ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270578786659&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT Quote
dajogejr Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 Those look like normal forks to me. Quote
