[QUOTE="rjp, post: 1398273, member: 120336"] [b]pictures of JR50 first gear mod[/b] Hi all, I have just completed this mod this past weekend and I took some pictures showing the shift linkage after the modification. Unfortunately I don't have any picture before the modification because I forgot to get my camera before doing the work. However, at least these photos will show you how the completed mod should look if you decide to do it. Basically, the left side of the oval cutout where the dremel is used to be filled in with metal. The center pin is stationary, and so the size of this oval determines the extent of shifter movement. The bike runs great and now has two gears, but the shift is rather harsh, as others have described, since there is no manual clutch to smooth things out. Even with two gears I think I still prefer the 12 tooth front sprocket and just keep it in second, but it's nice to have 1st gear just in case. Anyway, the mod is easy if you have a dremel and good mechanical ability. Do not try it without a dremel. I doubt it could be done with a file. Good luck, Rich PS. I tried to include a link here to my flickr account but apparently links are not allowed. Anyway, if you are fimiliar with flickr navigate to the following photos.
