Shift shaft will not shift

[Howard]

So I was riding today and I went to shift down and it would not let me and stalled pulled cover and found a metal piece laying on bottom of case and the shift shaft can be moved in and out when I pull the shift shaft I can get it to shift up to 3 rd and that it what do I need to replace shift shaft

The shift shaft won’t shift right here are some pics I just need to know what to buy and what is wrong

 

[Howard]

I found a piece of metal sitting in bottom of case when pulled off and it will not shift right

 

[Howard]

Also the gear that moves when shifting is it supposed to be moving in or out when shifting

 

[Howard]

Open the case today and found this piece of metal laying on the bottom and I can not shift to any gears but maybe 2nd and 3rd and it gets stuck can someone tell me what that piece is that broke and what I need to fix it

 

[Howard]

I bought a new shift shaft and case gasket but what is that piece of metal that broke??

 

[Howard]

So I was riding and next thing you know it would not down shift or anything and it cut off on me took the cover off and found some metal piece and my shift shaft was bent now I’m looking at the shift star and I’m not sure how it works or even know where that metal piece broke off at or was supposed to be here are some pics if someone can help me get this blaster back on the dirt

That one post on the shift star is worn but should be okay, looks like you need a new shift actuator tho

What is the shift actuator?

What is the shift actuator?

The shift shaft, its the piece that makes the shift star move

 

[Howard]

Also found out where the metal piece came from. It came off the kick start spring I believe here is a picture of that

Yeah already ordered a new one

 

[Howard]

The shift star is it supposed to move easy or is it hard to move

 

[Howard]

Also where is the shift star supposed to be lined up at

it doesnt move super easy, the way it is oriented just determines what gear the bike is put into, since it is welded onto the end of the shift cam which controls the shift forks which moves your gears

the broken metal piece is from the kicker
the one point on the shift star that looks worn is supposed to be that way, that's where the wheel sits when in neutral
It's common to be hard to shift when the engine isn't running and turning the gears, spin the output shaft/front gear (engine out) or jack it up and spin the rear wheels (engine in/chain on) it'll shift easier


multiple threads on this same topic merged together, stick to just one thread per topic in the future

Not sure if this is totally figured out, but is the screw still in the end of shift drum/star?

The reason it’s hard to shift is it’s moving at least two gears and shift forks every shift.
