Since yesterday.. I noticed..many times I had trouble getting back into 1st gear... ..yes..I made sure I was pulling all the way in on the clutch .. and I just can't seem to get it to engage.. no matter how much pressure I apply with my foot... any ideas ..on what's wrong??

It's new, it might take a tap not just pressure. Don't stomp it but you'll figure it out. Have the dealer check it out it's new .

 

[harleygirl64]

I tried tapping..and no stomping... I tried going up a gear and then back down and nothing... like I mention just started yesterday.. and if it continues I'll have it checked out!

In one of your post earlier didn't you say that the scoot was layed over in your yard. Did it fall on the left or right side? Could the shifter or shift linkage be bent?

 

[harleygirl64]

It fell over on the right...and the engine guards. ..prevented any part of the bike from touching the ground...I checked and couldn't believe it...!! not even the pipes or the bags!

Next time when you go up a gear, to second, let out the clutch so it engages, then try first.

HG, I think your problem could be the temperature. Is it possible you're riding in much colder weather than you normally would? I see it's going to be in the 50's tomorrow there, I wonder if you will see a difference.

When it won't go into first, try letting the clutch out until it begins to engage. Then pull the clutch in and try going into first again.

well since I've had the bike ... only been riding in temps in the 30's and 40's .... so I don't know if it's a temperature thing..never did it before yesterday....not much fun when you have people sitting behind you ..wanting to move....

nope doesn't sound like it. Have you checked the fluids?

Easy FX were talking about MOTORCYCLES for a second.

 

[harleygirl64]

I check the oil every time I ride..but nothing else...in the last week or so...???

 

[DJW]

It's under warranty Diane, don't f*** around, just take it in. It sounds like a bent shifter rod to me too, but why guess, just take it in.

Could be the shift fork but on a new bike it's most likely a clutch adjustment

Find neutral...then tap the shifter peg down. Try this at slow speed and at a stop. Neutral switch could be out...doubt it though.

 

[harleygirl64]

I've tried all kinds of ways.. just having a hard time some times..

 

[fourhour]

I'll give you a hard time!

 

[Thealien]
