Author Message   M2statz Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:40 pm:        My M2 is stuck in neutral. Any suggestions? Thanks Michael. (did anybody catch the reference to Flogging Molly?)   Damnut Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:44 pm:        pull in the clutch and press down on the pedal that is located on the left side of you engine. Hope that helps a little   Tramp Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:46 pm:        Sure- WITHOUT starting it, rock it back and forth, tapping the shifter up & down... any luck? Also- (Not joking) Check your belt. Buell belts, when they break, usually do so upon startup clutch-release   M2statz Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:47 pm:        I thought that you were supposed to do that on the right side of the bike!! Thanks for the tip!   M2statz Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:53 pm:        Seriously, I need some help, could it be some sensor like the stand sensor or some thing easy to start checking on.   Damnut Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 10:57 pm:        does your shifter move at all? Do what Tramp suggests and see if it will go into gear with the engine off. If so then you may have a clutch issue.   Psyclonej Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 08:37 am:        I had a similar problem with my Cyclone. A piece of the primary belt tensioner broke off and become lodged in the guts under the primary cover in such a manner that the bike would no longer shift. I had to fish out the offending bit of tensioner. It took longer to drive to the nearest dealer and secure the parts than it did to complete the repair. Hope that helps.   Ceejay Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 08:48 am:        So the black swamp brawler is back up and running? Cool. Sounded like an easy fix. Mine broke at about 15,000 but I think that may have been due to a little over-tensioning on my part. That's a great place to start-and also not a bad thing to upgrade while you're there, as you're probably gonna have to pull the primary at some point.   Psyclonej Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 11:58 am:        The Black Swamp Brawler nearly got "Spidyed" at a stop sign yesterday evening on the shakedown cruise. SUV cut the corner short and nearly mashed me to smithereens.   Thumper74 Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 12:08 pm:        Swamp brawler? Pics please!   Rotchcrocket51 Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 11:12 am:        The primary tensioner is a good place to start looking, especially if you have the old style one. Mine broke and luckily didn't send any of it's parts into the clutch, etc. The "new" style has a much thicker steel backbone and isn't as likely to fail. You could also have a problem with your shifter pawl. Taking off the primary cover should give you a good look.
