Default YFZ450 Won't Shift into 4th and 5th gear when drag racing !!!

Just as I stated, when at high speeds I can't get into 4th and 5th gear, at slower speeds it is fine.

I can fix this myself, but I don't want to tear into the trans without knowing if it is needed.

If anyone can give me some insight, this would help me alot


Thanks

i think what your doing is your foot is slightly pushing up the shift er and when u go to shift it won't shift bcuz of that...

Thanks to all that replied.

I did not have a problem shifting into 4th and 5th gear until I started wearing boots..... so you guys are possibly correct, I'm going to move the shifter up 1 notch and see what that does....

I wear a size 10 boot,

Gotta break your boots in. The tranny on mine can be really picky some times aswell.
