itsjustagreat1 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I had the same problem, mine was a worn shift shaft which is a cheap and easy fix, but could also be a bent shift fork..... Quote
J.J. Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Common problem, like itsjustagreat1 said... Mine does it from 2nd to 3rd on pavement, just never get round to fixing it, lost a few YFZ drag races because of that... Quote

pimpeinkc Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 the flat head screw you refer too is a eliptical "cam" shaped bolt. it should have a lock/bend up to the lock nut lock washer on it to keep it tight. i noticed some thing like that on my banshee after changeing out the shift shaft at the dunes, if your shift shaft goes bad you get stuck between two gears. i was stuck between 4th and 5th one of my buddys got 2nd and 3rd and the other got 1st and second. mine sucked cause i had to do like 65 all the way back to the camp. it had happened to all of my friends, and after putting back together i had your problem. the only difference is that my cam screw was loose and none of theres were. so after adjusting every thing was fine. i would start there, just put it in gear. roll it forward, and adjusted it till it is centered over the two nubs on the star. good luck man Quote
