while shifting from first to second the bike slips back out of second gear as soon as you give it some throttle, what could this be? thanks

 

Could be the shift fork, or you are just not getting it all the way into second when you shift.

 

It is probably a bent shift fork and that could lead to your engagement dogs wearing. You want to fix this as fast as possible. I recommend getting your engagement dogs undercut upon disassembly. It isn't cheap but, you won't want to have to do this job twice.

This is a big job. I would expect to drop $600 to $1,000 on it if you have someone else do the work but, once done you won't have to worry about it again.

 

ok, how do you put your bikes in the bottom of the page

If you do this yourself, do a search on Hightower, he has a complete how-to on this job. I just did it myself last winter and it is one major undertaking.[img]i/expressions/musicnote.gif[/img]

 

what do you mean hightower?

 

Hightower is a guy on this forum I sent you a link step by step on how to.

Hope it helps.

 

I did the job myself last year as well. It is a big job but not really that hard - if you are ok with tools and fixing bike - follow the instructions and you will be ok.

Get the gears cut as well - make the tranny shift like butter.
