First gear gone ?????
#30
follow-up to this thread...
went on a ~400mile trip last weekend. dumped the klx several times and pretzeled my shifter 2 times.
after first time and rebending the shifter back, i could not shift in/out of gear and was stuck in 4th. great...i suspected something broke inside and it was going to be a long 120mi ride home.
upon riding the bike back to camp and taking the shifter cover off, the spring (92081 in the attached schematic) on the shifter fork became dislodged and was lying inside the case.
put the spring back on, put everything back together, and all shifted fine for the rest of the weekend.
anybody have this happen to them? i am going to put on a cable snake to hopefully minimize damage in the future.
