    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all, I fixed the (No Gear) problem, now that the bike rides, I found out it is almost very hard to shift beyond second gear, I tried to adjust the clutch cable, did not work any suggestions where to look for this problem?

Not quite eh:cry:? Well, when I first saw the post I feared it was your 1150! Anyhow, if you end up needing a hand tearing the motor out, give me a call. I'll see if I can't get over there and give you a hand.

Hi Scott, thank you for your offer, I'll start with taking out the clutch, and see if I can find anything weird behind the drum, sometime this week.

What was it you fixed exactly (problem vs solution)? While underway, can you upshift easily without using the clutch (lifting up on the shifter while breaking torque with the throttle)? If you can do this easily then it's possible you have clutch problems (unable to disengage completely). Does the bike want to lurch forward when cranking or creep when stopped when in gear with the clutch pulled? Is there any history of working on the transmission which coincides with this problem? Was any other work performed on this bike (seemingly unrelated) which coincides with the problem?

Hi Sparkss, I bought this bike from someone who one hundred miles ago won on eBay. he brought it home, paid a mechanic $675.00 to clean the carbs, change the plugs/wires, so called tune up, he rode for 100 miles next when he started the bike he had no gears, he called the mechanic , told him the problem, without checking the problem the mechanic suggested him to sell the bike saying to fix your problem will cost a lot on money, it is a transmission problem. the price was right I bought the bike, I posted the problem, I got many suggestions, except one Steve suggested; before taking anything apart, check the rubber boot to see if the shaft is turning, the shaft was turning, that gave me an idea, I undid the boot and found the problem, the bolts were sheared of the shaft plate. I put new bolts and tried to ride, this is when I noticed the shifter can ship 1st, neutral and 2nd with no problem
