Author Message   Hendro Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 08:11 am:        Been riding a while now after changing the primary oil and adjusting the primary tension in an effort to fix my gear sticking problem. I have noticed the time it really sticks is when I get on it hard and shift to second, and then hard again and shift to third...it wont budge. I then have to slow down to 1st gear speeds and it will loosen up and I am able to shift out. Any ideas what this is from? It just recently started in the past 2 weeks giving me trouble. It also sometimes false shifts into neutral in the 2nd to 3rd shift as well.   Teeps Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 09:12 am:        I think the problem may be caused by the position of the shift shaft lever. I noticed in your profile photo the shift shaft lever is tilted down at an angle. It should be parallel to the ground. Check this link for how it should be adjusted.

If it is supposed to be parallel to ground then that must be it. I'll change it back and report back. It was fun while it lasted...   Hendro Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 11:01 am:        Teeps, link isn't working...unless its just my workplace network...could u try posting again   Teeps Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 02:19 pm:        Try this one. http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes/sport/XB12R/color s.asp See left side view.
