Banshee won't shift into third

[OutlawPat]

My Shee will not shift into third gear. It goes into first and second ok, but won't go into third. Does anyone have any ideas why? Now it won't come out of first. Any ideas?

check trans oil for metal shavings. then let us know.

[OutlawPat]

I just changed the oil on it. No shavings

Pull the clutch cover. Work the shift lever and watch what's happening. If everything looks kosher, then you'll have to split the cases and probably find trashed forks.

It shifted fine, and then I changed the case on the one side of the engine. I think something isn't lining up in there. We'll pop the case off tomorrow and check everything

Cases need to be a matched set! I don't care what the guy on ebay says!

Same thing just happened to me, I replace shifter shaft and adjusted shifter Paul shifts great now.

You named your bike Paul?

[cyclewizzard]

I meant when you install the new parts you will have to adjust the eccentric pin so that shifter Paul or the shifter arm has even throw on each side of the shift drum pins. And the Bikes name is stitch.

I think that's what he was saying. Haha

What we've got here is failure to communicate. The cover over the clutch is called a clutch cover. Not a case. The cases are the main engine part that splits top and bottom.
