Motorcycle Repair: MOTORCYCLE, honda rebel 250, right foot

Question
HOW DO I FIX MY TRANNY THATS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR? I HAVE A 86 HONDA REBEL 250 ! STREET CRUSIER

Answer
Hi Joshuah, there is one thing you could try..its not something I like to recommend though because it seems unprofessional. Start the bike with the clutch in..let it warm up for about 5 minutes, standing next to your bike on the left side stomp down hard on the shifter with your right foot...not so hard as to bend the shifter down but a good stiff downward jab. If after two or three stabs at it it doesnt free up and select 2nd gear then the motor has to come out so the transmission can be torn down and inspected.

  good luck
