old put-put Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 When I shift to second gear it feels like it kicks in and out of neutral on its own, it's difficult to get into second but only seems to do this in second gear. All other gears shift fine with no problems. Could this be a shifting fork? It has very low hours on it like less than five. It is a n down 1-5 behind a drag ported cub. Has anyone else had this issue ? Quote
sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Who cut your trans? The neutral down option can be accomplished a few ways . If not done correctly you could experience a false neutral . Or you could have damaged a fork but IMO a fork issue can effect 2 gears Quote
RagunCajun Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 I did in a few gears but that was related to a lighter spring from a shift kit. Quote
sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 I always use stock springs for s more positive feel, even on pro mods used in rough terrain 1 Quote
old put-put Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Posted October 2, 2016 Not sure who cut tranny. I had a site sponsor build this motor with the override about 4 years ago and never really rode it much until yesterday and this started shortly after the day started. If I let off the throttle and clutch it it will shift. Sometimes if you keep it pinned it doesn't do it sometimes it does. This only happens in second gear. Quote
sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 I had a customers 1-5 do something similar and everything looked good fork wise, after inspection I narrowed it down to drum work or back its in sliders uneven . I massaged drum and fixed back its at same time and it cleared issue up so I'm not 100% positive which was the culprit Quote
old put-put Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks for the input, got somewhere to start looking. This will probably be a winter time project as around home there's not really anywhere good to run this thing through the gears. Quote
sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 If you pull trans and want me to take a look let me know Quote
sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 I would need forks , star, shift shaft, and all detent parts to rule out anything stupid Quote
old put-put Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks, I'll let you know. Quote
RadarRacing Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Check star/eccentric adjustment 1st thing and everything else under the clutch cover, then move on to all forks , then like stated look at all other parts drum,dogs etc. Quote
