Default Help - drove 2 miles in reverse

Bear Tracker, 2000 model, not a problem for ten years until yesterday. Deep in the woods the bike stuck in reverse and would not shift back to forward. I've read the threads and posted solutions (i.e.) rocking the bike, turn off, take the load off. Been there, done that. What's next for the do it your-selfer? Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

Sounds like you've done all the easy stuff, and it may take cracking open the tranny to see what's wrong in there.

Thanks to everyone! A little wd-40 and a vise grip freed up the linkage.
