So I got back from the dragon yesterday (pics will follow shortly) and I'm having problems shifting into third. Now, at the dragon I had to keep it in 2nd a whole lot (riding with a guy and it was his first time so I had to take it easier.) Anyway I probably left it in second and used engine breaking way too much. Long story short is today I almost couldn't get her to go into 3rd. I thought maybe it was my new boots, but no. I would have to go back into first and let the engine go higher up in the rpm and then go to second. And finally third. But it would take 4 tries. She runs fine in all gears once she gets to third. Also shifts fine going down the line. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. | ||

How old is your oil? | ||

Brand new. Changed it before I left. I'm going to take the drain plug out real quick and make sure I don't see any metal in it but I would think she wouldn't run well in any gear if there had been some kind of catastrophic failure. Chris. | ||

Check the primary chain tension. | ||

Oh wait... this is the 1125 board  . I have no idea. | ||

Sounds like your clutch is not releasing all the way. Have you installed aftermarket levers recently? | ||

Well I figured out part of it. I was riding yesterday with my new boots. And I guess I wasn't hitting the shifter just right. Rode today with my shoes (I know I know) and it shifted just fine. I need to break in the new boots I guess. I'll keep an eye on her either way. Thanks everyone. Chris. | ||

Or raise your shifter. Sounds like the boots aren't "releasing" the shifter between shifts... |
