Transmission stuck?

[robrocks71]

Was riding my bike last weekend and was shifting up through the gears and got to third and it wouldnt go any further??

 

If i rock the bike back and forth I can get it into fourth and back to third but other than that it's locked up.

 

Any ideas?

 

Ive heard there is a weak link in the shift star/shift rod??

 

Any info or diagrams would be great.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Robert.

Thanks for that. It gives me a starting point rather than pulling the whole motor apart.

I pulled my motor and split the cases. Turns out the rear shift fork had been rubbing on one of the gears. It was eithe mis alligned or fork was bent. I bought all new both gear sets, shift shaft, shift drum and forks off of a 2006 for $73. That and a gasket set and seal kit and I was only out $138. Just got it back together last night. Will be putting it back in over the weekend. These things are easy to work on. Who knew you could replace the innards of the tranny in a day??

 

As the guy's on here will tell you, you need to tear it down to find out whats wrong.... There isnt really a whole lot to them once you get going.

like i mentioned in the thread i linked, 90% of the time the problem can be found and repaired just under the shift cover, unless there is an acute incident with shifting or hard abuse that caused it.
