smartsshee22 Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I was out at Gordons Well for Halloween and the bike ran awesome. I started to have problems at the sand drags though with the tranny getting stuck in fifth gear after every run. I would have to have someone pull me about five feet to get the shifter to go back down through the gears. Any ideas on what would be causing it to get hung up in fifth? I am running Castol GTX 20w50 motor oil in the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 You may pull off the clutch cover & look at the shift forks,..see if they're bent or anything, there's a spring in there that could be worn...possibly. I'd check there & see if you notice anything hanging it up. I had problems getting hung up in 2nd & 3rd and that was my problem...the shift forks were getting hungup on the shift star. I just unjammed them & took TXALKY's advise & put a rubber washer on the shift shaft and then put the shifter back on....eliminating the left to right play with the shift shaft that was causing the binding. Haven't had a problem since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
