[QUOTE="bigred455, post: 258585, member: 19827"] Scott very good observation,i have a 00 kx 250 since new.I have the same problem from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st,it seems like their is a big gap from 1st to 2nd it likes to catch neutral.I get smooth shift's with the power on from 2nd on up regardless what the mag's say.I had my bottom end apart to replace the big end rod bearing,my friend is a team kawasaki mechanic for the drag bikes. we had the cases apart and he was showing me when you turn the shift drum and watching the shift star how smooth all the other gears were from 2nd on up ,but from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st it seemed like their was too much tension.He put a softer detent spring in, i have had it in since, the 1st to 2nd is not any better.I just got off the phone with my friend he said if you take some of the shift star off where it would sit in neutral,IT would jump into neutral from 1st or 2nd on it's own.Bad idea, actually it is a good idea i think,but he said it would not work it will jump into neutral on it's own.I have just lived with the 1st to 2nd not that we are in that gear that much,but i shift very aggressive from first to 2nd in tight spots.
