ok guys, first off let me introduce myself. I am Chris and I live in New Jersey. I just recently got a 1990 Yamaha Blaster from a guy for next to nothing. It runs great, starts first or second kick but the tranny is giving me crap. When I first rode the bike a couple weeks ago I noticed that it was real hard for me to find neutral and it was giving me problems shifting up past 2nd or 3rd gear. It would miss every gear until it hit 5th or 6th. It felt as though I was getting it in gear the whole time but it would just rev. Along with those problems the bike was jumping out of gears from time to time and I find fals neutrals alot.
Well today I decided to take the right side cover off and check out my clutch and shift shaft. The clutch looks brand new and the shift shaft and shift star look great as well. I did notice that there was a small double ended spring on the end of the shift shaft. It looks like the big one on the for the shift shaft or the stopper that hits the shift star except it is alot thinner and smaller. Well anyways it was not serving any purpose, neither end was touching anything so I put each end in the end of the shift shaft where it looked like it would go. I put everything back together and now I can shift from first to second and back and forth but not usually with my foot. It feels as though it goes nowhere. I have to reach down with my hand and do it. I am at my wits end with this thing. Probably going to take the engine out of the bike tomorrow and do a better inspection of everything. Sorry such a long post. Any help is appreciated.
