F`n furious livid PISSED!

I just went to go ride my freshly built machine, except, when I got it started and went to kick it into gear it wouldnt click up or down. So pushing it in very angry I took the clutch cover off with it off the ground and went to see what the problem was, I turned the tires and shifted it through all the gears with no problem, so I put it all back together fluds and all got it back out in the yard, sma ething no shift!!!! :mad: :: Yesterday I took a slow troll up and down the road and it shifted great!! PISSED!!!!!!!!!!

 

Anyone know what could cause this? This is the first Ive come across a problem like this.

You sure that little screw that has the oval adjustment is adjusted correctly and tightened down. I think it has a locknut on it, maybe that came loose?

Its that or the springs on the shift shaft are shot. Try that and the adj. nut.

sounds like maybe your clutch plates were stuck together. If it does it again, note how long the quad has been sitting and then let her warm up really good before you take off, and work the clutch lever while your warming it up. Usually when the plates are stuck, you can shift it into first gear and it just lurches ahead and stalls, Iv never had it where it just wont go into gear tho, so you might have a different problem. :shrug:

my bike creeps like a bitch until its warmed up, basically starts up and u can hold the clutch and drive away... after about 20 feet its good.

Nah, its not the clutch at all. The shift shaft springs are good because the shift lever returns from either up or down. I know the plates can stick and make it jerk an stall or jump, but it just doesnt go into gear at all not 1st or second. BUt when I took it out the first time it worked fine. And the second time it didnt, but I took the cover off and everything worked again turning the tires, then all together,... nothing. I think somehow its not moving the star, but I dont understand why it would then not then would then not.

I think I figured it out. My oil bolt may be so long its going up and hitting up against something. I replaced it today and got one but need to cut it down. Everything is working fine with that out. Im not even getting sticky clutch jump without oil in it. Tires sat still till I let off. Perfect. Im happy now. :happy:
