Im not sure but it apears that when the shift for broke it cause the gear that it raises or lowers to do just the oposite of what it was doing right before it broke. That cause the gears to bind and as the pic shows the weaker of the two lost the battle. The gear accross from that one has a couple scraps but nothing bad.
Im just poor old trailer trash so thats part of the reason for me doing what I can myself. I'll have hope that luck is on my side this time. Undercutting would be great but out of my reach this go around.

 

Hi
I have a 2000 ds and I my fist gear pop in and out. I think that's the shift fork
Can you give me your email so that I can write to you ? I have several questions : ''how to change the shift fork''

Your help would be VERY appreciated

Thanks

 

Check your PM..
You can also just post a question and prolly get a quicker answer. There are many of the quys on here that know these quads like the back of there hands. And many more that know more than I.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Is there a way to tell if this is going to happen like hard shifting or anything like that?

 

Nope, just one day it will start popping out of gear on ya. Then the work begins.

 

Is there a how to guide on how to take these apart? And I seen cranks going for around $800.00 bucks is that the real price, or if I shop around can I find one cheaper. I'm use to my banshee two strokes are cheap to fix.

 

Does it need a crank? If it does I would just look for a good used engine that is ready to drop in, or look for a bike in better shape.

Also do a search on a guy named Hightower on here, he has a whole library on how to take these apart. It's really easy once you have done it. If you are mechanically inclined it makes it a bit easier.

 

I put this site together a few years back. It might help if you need to get into the tranny. http://www.ljsoftware.com/DS/DS650Main.html

There is also a helpful links section, that has a link to the bmw f650 site. You will find most anything you need to know about the DS motor there.
