Posted a while back on my buddy's 92 EX500 tranny jumping into neutral when decelerating. We bought the pro-Tec upgrade retention spring and installed it this weekend. The bike quit jumping out of gear, but still has a little slip as you decelerate. All of a sudden today the bike is stuck in 2nd gear. Any ideas as to why and/or suggextions to fix. He only paid $900 for the bike, so not looking to dump a bunch of money into it. Anybody got a used EX500 tranny for sale cheap??? Help. TIA
Ya got's ta take it apart to see whats broke (could be several thinkgs, shifting fork, drum, or something on one of the shafts preventing side to side movement) If you figure it out, yes, I have parts, I broke lots of top ends, not many transmissions But it is probably cheaper to just buy a motor out of a wreck. Don't pay more than $100 bucks for it. Swapping motors only takes an hour or two in an EX (several of us did it between two races at Nelson a couple of years ago, say 35 minutes). Tim
Hopefully it's fixed...nut on the shift arm backed off...we'll see how it goes now, but it's still slipping a little. Thanks!
