[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1154680, member: 6354"] Went to shift down from 3rd to 2nd a while ago and something broke. Shifter wiggles but doesn't engage anything, and bike is between second and third, [I]ALMOST[/I] in second. It's close enough to being in second that a little bit of clutch will start to move the bike and then it starts with the dog-slipping noise, which makes me bring the clutch lever back in quickly. This truly sucks. I was ONLY about three miles from home, so I pushed/rode it like that, just enough clutch for a tiny bit of thrust. Took 90 minutes to get home! For once, Florida flat is AWESOME!!!!!! because it wouldn't have climbed anything steeper than .03% grade. So it's parked. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I don't have a lift, nothing to raise the bike/drop the motor, and no spare parts bin lying around full. I'm supposed to have dibs on second gear parts from Patriot's blowed-up motor, but I can't find the thread about that for some reason, and I don't remember who it was put all that stuff in his attic. I might see if some other parts are there for me.... Might be cheaper to buy an eBay engine if I find one than to buy parts, assuming I can't get what I need from Patriot's motor if I find that forum member again. So someone remind me who that was, and I can start begging him to get up into the attic. [/QUOTE]
