gearbox
doordie:
Hi Guys!
Need some help here!
A friend of mine have some trouble with his 4th gear.
When he up-shift and it?s engaged,it immedly pulls to higher 5th
gear.It?s a new rebuild 4th gears(both) and now after 1 hour of riding
it?s look not to "good" again. I have never had a problem with gearbox so I?m little lost here!
Suggestions? :wink:

Bent or missalighned shift forks?
doordie:
Thx mikesmith,we will check that. :wink:
Maybe the gear positioning leverspring is to weak?
Or the shift mechanism armspring?
Something is worn who holds gears in place anyway. :?
We will measure everything and check the worn limits.
If you found out something plz write! :idea:

mikesmith:
Now that you mention it I do recall someone having a problem with the spring being weak.You may have got it there!

Doordie,
If the spings are weak, he'd have problems for all gears. Look at the picture and you'll understand how it all works. Spring 1 is the spring which holds your chosen gear in place. Spring 2 is the spring which returns you gear lever to the middle position. There could be worn parts causing these problems for your mate, but not likely the springs. Just my two cents...
