Thx John for pic,awesome!

I think he had more than one problem.
Spring 1 is weak and worn dogs for gear 4
and maybe worn shiftforks for 4th gear too.
What about the spring 3? :?

By the way, nice to see your`r alive after Xmas and new year! :D
(Say hello to family from me)

Doordie,

I HAD to make a picture extremly sharp (having slagged your pictures off)...

The last spring is used to retract the hooks which engage the pins on the drum. These "hooks" have to move with the rotation of the drum. They are retracted (to the left on the picture) when the gear lever returns to the middle.  This spring should not be involved in the problems your mate has.

I think the sping functions are more binary - either they work or they don't. I would look into worn parts or missalligned forks... check out the roll mechanism which fix the drum as well as the drum itself (spring 1 items).

And yes, "Gott Nytt Ar" to you too! Say hi to the family.

By the way, I will be bringing my 500 over to Sweden this summer if I can justify the additional costs of bringing the trailer on the ferry. It looks like it might be a cheaper option to buy a new bike... I will bring the KX85 for Linus - maybe your girls would like to try it out?

Doordie,
  I would almost say worn dogs on the 4th gear. If the rotation can force the engaged dogs apart, the ratchet may pass the detent for 4th and then want to continue to 5th and cause an upshift.  Cam.

doordie:
