I repalced it but it still takes an act of god to get it started. Needless to say, once were up and running, it seems to have no power at all.

I was riding yesterday and when i went to shift into 3rd, the shift lever stayed up in neutral and i had to tap it down into gear. I was still able to downshift. I checked the oil level and it was where it should be. I took it back out and eventually it started sticking when i down shifted, it would stay down in neutral and i had to pull it up to get into gear. Is there a return spring or something that could have stretched or broke? Im using mobile 1 synthetic 4 stroke wet clutch oil 10w Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions.

Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait. AVS Forum. Tough machine. I used it for work. Deals Forum. It wasn't overly powerful, but took everything I could throw at it without a sniffle. This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. There will be disconnects for the kill switch, and you can disconnect the kill switch harness and just short together the wires on the harness side to simulate a working kill switch. I have springs cobb jobbed to the lever right now to help return it after each shift which has helped but id rather a more reliable fix lol. I took it back out and eventually it started sticking when i down shifted, it would stay down in neutral and i had to pull it up to get into gear.

That being said, I had an 86 and would rate it very high. If you go on here there's a schematic to see what it could be. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Quote message in reply? As for the lever, its not hung up or bent, i was thinking internal. I am reading only 30 psi and it goes up to about 50 psi when i put oil in the cylinder. It moves freely, it doesn't feel like theres any springyness left. Remove and clean the battery connections. AVS Forum. Make sure the kill switch is on but like said before, ck that too. The only place you could get the WD is around the shifter seal, which is rubber, and if were damaged, it's very very doubtful that the damaged rubber could interfere with shifting, you would just have an oil leak there.
