No 2-3 Shift under load

[Snopczynski]

I am working on my buddies bike and the problem with it is when your under load like drag racing and go to shift from 2nd to 3rd the bike will not go into 3rd gear until you completely let off the gas and clutch it. The shifter feels real funny when your trying to shift also. It feels like there is no detent to it just on the 2-3 shift. My motor guy said it probably needed both 3rd gears and a shift fork. The bike is an 1987 402cc JSD 4mill Stroker. Bike has a new clutch, springs, and good maxima trans oil in it.

Your motor guy is on the right track. The best trans in the world will not hold back an abusive shifter foot. Depending on how long it has been like this, you may get away with just the fork. Remember to replace the fork shaft.

Make sure the shiftter is adjusted right inside, centered by the ecentric adjuster,also make sure the piece that grabs the shiftstar pegs is not worn,should be a tiny hook on each end that grabs the pegs.
