Im having trouble with the 1st gear. While in first gear and accelerating the bike seems to lock up and bog/jerk/skip then when shifted into 2nd,3rd,4th,5th there are no issues and runs fine. Can anyone shed some light on this, its puzzling me. Thanks.
Sounds like a bent shift fork to me. I have the same thing on my YZ 250wr. I was told it is a shift fork most likely. Mine will start in first, but after takeoff it will slip and then get stuck in first and be a total pain to get it out. I just geared it down as much as possible with sprockets till I get time to split the cases.
Yep that sounds right. I now have to take off in 2nd. Its not an issue just a little difficult during steep hill climbs. Will riding it damage any other gears until i can replace the shift fork?
