    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Shifter fork or ?

My bike doesn't like 3rd gear.
I can shift into 3rd, but it won't stay in gear. If I shift into it, it will pop out unless I do 1 of 2 things.
A. Shift into 3rd, then 'downshift' but hold the shifter down.
B. Shift into 3rd without using the clutch and keep the gas on. Right when I let up on the throttle so there is less friction on the gear, it will pop back out.

I've gotten used to skipping from 2 to 4, but I really would like to fix this. Someone had mentioned that it might be a bent shifter fork, but I have no idea. This winter I would like to fix the issue(Since I would have to split the case to do much with it), but I want to be sure I know what the issue is before I go into it.

I also have a hard time finding N. Its usually a little easier when the bike is warmed up, but even then it is still a pain. I usually have to be completely stopped, then play with the throttle to get the right speed.
 
shift fork or dogs on the gears worn, you wont find out for sure until you tear it apart im afraid
