barely legal racing Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 when drag racing, my bike misses shifts like crazy, and its not the driver, several people ride it and when i go to shift its like it never leaves the gear and sometimes have to shift it up like 4 times to hit the next gear (only when drag racing). is there a stiffer spring or something i could try besides a different tranny to keep my shifts quick and percise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not adjusted correctly or the springs and worn on shift shaft it wont shift. The service manual tells you step by step to adjust the excentric correctly.

The shift pro is a very good product,money well spent.It made shifting alot smoother. Edited July 23, 2006 by MDS2106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barely legal racing Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 i have a stock shift star, seems to be ok. another problem is when shifting down, the shift lever falls too far down, doesnt click down, goes way down. This is different than any other fourwheeler i have owned. i know something is wrong but dont know what, seems like there isnt a stop on it or something goes like 2 inches lower when shifting down than should, but sometimes (like 10% of the time) it will catch and shift down properlly. where do i get a shift star? i dont really want to buy that spring for 70 bucks unless it really really helps, especially after i bought powerblades for 200 and got them turned out to be a 2 in square box with a piece of cheap metal in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREELIZARD Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 :thumb: Call Jeff at FAST racing his number is 785-364-5325 I bought a shift shaft and a shift spring mod from him and since then i have never missed a shift and it is alot easier to find neutral and it shifts silky smooth. he will probably have any other parts that you might need also. he is a great guy to deal with and his customer service cant be beat.

tjz70 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I had the same problem, and the stud that adjust the center point on the star was broke. And it let the shifter fell like it was limp had no spring to it. I went up and seen Jeff last Fri. and i seen a shift star hanging on his wall, give him a call he has just about everything for a banshee, or he can get it. Super nice guy and he knows his stuff. His # is listed on this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 The shift pro is kinda pricey. There is a altenative!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headsup Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 The shift pro is kinda pricey. There is a altenative!! I read an magazine article where they tested the shift pro, said it shifted like butter with no missed shifts while hill climbing. at 69 bucks i would go that way no star wheel to modify, my problem is i cant get tudors to answer his ph, only a recording, and he didnt return my call, stinks i want the kit.
