[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 124768, member: 21529"] It’s time for new oil (it always is) so drop the side cover off. Check that the lever isn’t binding & the splined shaft isn’t bent. You’d be surprised how many times it turns out to be external to the gear box. What you are sort of suggesting is the only times you are having trouble is perhaps at higher revs than normal? Have a look at the arm on the shaft that pulls the shift drum around. The little pins that live on the end of the shift drum are ok & rotating with the lever ok. After that (internally) I would expect damage to the drum itself or the dogs engaging into it. There could be some gauling on the sliding components particular for that shift. Bearing failure would tend to affect all shifts but it’s not unreasonable that if one side of the dogs sliding shaft has a lot of movement it may bind up. Look for anything blued up. First to second are usually the gears to get munched first but hopefully the reason turns out to be external. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
