strokerace Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 well went to track tonight and ran 2 passes with pretty decent times for the first two runs its way rich but on the third run it gets about 50 to 75 feet down the track and it locks up solid i mean it about puts me over the bars well we drag it off the track and i start trying to figure what just happened and we all think its the tranny when we relize the rear caliper is locked up solid so we take it off and she is free rolling and now it shifts normalso i go to make a pass not hard but just to see how its going to shift and again about 50 to 75 feet it starts locking up motor never misses sounds good so i cut it off roll it backabout a foot and it frees itself up but if you put it in nuetral and roll it back 5 or6 feet it will kick into gear but if you roll it forward it will free up so i guess what my question is does it sound like the forks are bent or the shift drum is cut wrongi have another tranny but its 1-4 overide if i get new shifting forks should i put them in with the one in the motor now if theres no visable damage done to the gears because its new and if it dont work replace it with the 1-4 either way its coming back apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 If you made two passes, I don't think the shift drum is cut wrong...possible bent shift forks. That's pretty much why I decided to stay with a 10 mil. Friend had a 16 or 18 mil twister...lots of issues. Are you using billet or stock cases??

lowriderb Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 check to make sure nothing shifted like the drum retainer clip or something like that.. about the same thing happened to my friends 14mm and the retainer for the shift drum broke from the axial pull on the drum and from cases flexing with it..

yfzdunejumper Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 im running billet cases getting rady to tear it apart tonight let you know what i find Well what did you find? My guess is bent forks from you rear brake locking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strokerace Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 found one fork broke and 1st and second have teeth broke hopefully from the brakes locking up and not from anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 The broken fork couldve caused the teeth to break, All in fact due to the rear brakes locking up... Damn, That sucks bro. Always something isnt it !?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strokerace Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 yes it is always something i do believe its cause of the caliper locking up on me is there any way to check the overide to make sure everything is right there before putting it back together only to find out something else isnt wrong in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 To be honest, my override won't shift without the bike running for shit....sitting there. I suppose if you have the motor out....you could spin the front sprocket and see if it shifts, one gear to the next....I"m not sure how much pressure has to be on the gears to test the override...
