Author Message   Thundermutt Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 02:01 pm:        yesterday stoped at a stop light put the bike in neutral and i could not get the bike back in 1st gear. It goes into 2nd-5th with no issues and shifts fine just no 1st.There was no noise of any sort.wondering if I bent or broke the shifting forks 1997 S-1.looking for some insight on this problem.Thanks   Fahren Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 03:48 pm:        Do you have an updated detent plate (or pawl)? Stock on 2000 and up. Part# 33656-90A (same # as old one but with an A after). That could be one culprit, as it was re-shaped to make shifts easier, and reduce false neutrals.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 04:02 pm:        Or you could have an issue with the shift drum pins. They can back out.   Sloppy Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 05:11 pm:        Can be the above or the detent plate clip has broken / fell off. Many fixes are available. But I highly recommend Baker Drivetrain. While you are in there you can also upgrade the primary shoe.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 05:35 pm:        OH! And since this is old school, a broken primary chain tensioner can lead to a plate of metal stuck in the oddest places, and causing the oddest problems...   Buellistic Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 06:03 pm:        Now would be a good time to do the CLUTCH "PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT" ... This "INFO" is available upon request to all, just e-mail me(Ljenne73c@verizon.net) so that "i" can get your e-mail address and it is yours ...   Thundermutt Posted on Friday, March 05, 2010 - 08:22 am:        Thanks for the info guys.I'll tear into and get the beast back on the rode.Can't live without her.   Kalali Posted on Friday, March 05, 2010 - 05:28 pm:        "Stock on 2000 and up. Part# 33656-90A" Does that apply to ALL 2000 MY bikes (X1 in my case) or it was a mid-year upgrade? My production date is Nov '99. I've been worrying about this since I first heard about this issue. Thanks.   Sloppy Posted on Friday, March 05, 2010 - 06:00 pm:        It was stock on all 2000. But it doesn't solve the problem of broken clips or moving drum pins. You can modify the existing unit by drilling, tapping and staking or purchase a Baker kit.
