my shifter is becoming really hard to shift and sometimes when im in neutral i cant shift up bec it feels locked in place. when i can get it into first it wont shift into second. if i push the shifter up and down normally it goes into neutral either way i shift it. when i really jam up on the shifter with alot of force than it will shift up. and it shifts down smoothy though. how can i fix this problem??? need help quickkkkk

first thing to check is the shift drum bolt, it is behind the black plug above the front sprocket.. sometimes the bolt will come loose or the washer will mushroom over.


i did check that and its all good whats the next thing to check just tell me everything
 
OK,, that is the first symtom as it lets the drum move side to side and sometimes binds,,

Now you will need to go inside,, start with shutting off the fuel and laying the bike on the left side to a point that the shifter does not hit the ground and can be moved (place the handle bar on a stand or crate), then take off the kicker, then all the side cover bolts and clutch cable when the mount is loose.

then push the clutch actuator and this will help pop the cover off, take care to not tear the gasket.

after removal of the cover look above kicker shaft and behind the clutch , check the idler gear and see it it has any front to back movement, this would be a sign that the bearing on the output shaft is about to fail, also this will let you look at the shift drum end and you will be able to shift and see what is going on there.

Start there and then get back you us.
