Dave G Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hey guys....got a question. My Shee is sometimes very difficult to upshift. If I am just cruising along, it usually shifts fine. (Sometimes it doesn't even like to shift then, however) But if I am running it, all upshift gears tend to be difficult. Sometimes I'll miss second and end up in neutral, sometimes miss 3rd and stay in 2nd.....etc. I have checked and rechecked the shift claw and it is spaced evenly over the shift star with it in any gear, and the clutch is adjusted properly. I have tried shifting both with and without the clutch....same result. Will modding the shift star correct this? I have read that it helps it shift easier, but haven't seen whether it can correct missing shifts. Also, I just have the stock shift lever. Would a quality aftermarket shift lever help? Thanks again for any help you can give!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what mod is done to the shift shaft to help shifting? Not to be thread jacking but I figured it will benefit us both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Can someone give detailed instuctions on how to proper adjust the essentric screw cause im having the same problem & I have all the clutch mods. shift pro kit, modded star & cut tranny. Also what mod is done to the shift shaft to help shifting? Not to be thread jacking but I figured it will benefit us both. the essentric srew adjust where the shifter sits on the shift star. adjust till the shift star pins have equal distence between shifter.. i cant remember if you adjust with it in nutural or in gear. maybe someone will chime in!! i think nutural.. but i could be wrong!!

slothman Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did you recently change the tranny fluid? Some tranny fluids like fully synthetic might cause problems with the clutch or shifting. It's a good idea to check the fluid anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas h. Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 How's your clutch basket? If you pull the clutch and not fully disengage the motor it will still spin the tranny and resists shifting. X2 tranny fluid. Nobody mentioned better or worst when hot or cold or flat or up hill Double check that the clutch rod going in to the case has the arrows lined up. Does your bike when cold start kinda lurch forward when you kick it? Does it kinda stall when you put it in first gear and have to rev it so it doesn't stall?

thomas h.

Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 How's your clutch basket?

Does your bike when cold start kinda lurch forward when you kick it? Does it kinda stall when you put it in first gear and have to rev it so it doesn't stall? When cold it does kinda lurch forward when putting it in gear, but as it warms up, that goes away. Never does it to the point of stalling the engine. The clutch basket is new, as well as the hub. The pressure plate is older, but in perfect shape. It does it regardless of hilly or level ground, and the clutch rod and case arrows are lined up. As for oil, I am running Castrol 10w-40, but am considering going to Type F tranny fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
