1966 Dream..Not able to get it in 1st gear...

Post by sky1haze » Sat Sep 11, 2010 9:25 pm

have the occasional problem of me not able to get it out of second gear...or actually not able to put it into 1st, to half click it to neutral. It just gets stuck. Scary and annoying.
Does this sound familiar???? This bike came out of 15. yr storage... worked fine right before...... 5,631 miles.

The trans has a problem when ya don't down shift until ya are stopped.
Have ya done any inspection/looked into the clutch?. .............lm

Not yet. Tomorrow in MA there is a huge vintage Japanese bike show, I might find an expert to show me the ropes.
Allthough I am going to take your advice and scope out the tranny!
Thanks.
