Thanks Man!!!!

I knew there had to be a way, but every time I have to work on it, I'm in a hurry & don't take the time to figure out how to get it off. How did you figure it out, don't tell me it's in the manual!!!!

 

I figured it out on mine because the star screw inside came loose and the entire shifter handle came off the bike in my hand when I tried to shift! After a few minutes of panick(I thought I broke it off) I was able to put it back on and tighten it back down.

LMAO- I did exactly the same thing! My screw was worn to the point that it wouldn't hold, so I 'borrowed' one from work to effect a repair. When your half hung up in the middle of nowhere, and the shift lever comes off in your hand- WELL, you DO get a feeling that ain't pleasant! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Speaking from experience, you can ride your Cat without the shifter handle pretty easily. I almost gotten used to reaching down with my left hand to shift the tranny from forward to reverse. I don't even have to think about which way to move the lever now, comes to me automatically. The lever does get a little hot though if your using it for a while, gloves help.

 

I finally got the bracket welded back on &amp; all of the plastic &amp; racks re-installed. The Big Cat is back into action just in time for hunting season. I have found that it shifts a little easier if I push the handle to the outside a little. Does anyone every grease the handle were it slides over the hump when shifting into low?
