    54 Transmission Problem

    I just bought a 54 FLE with a ratchet top transmission/mouse trap. I am having trouble getting it to go through the gears. I litterally have to "kick" it through ( no grinding). Once it is in gear it runs fine. I adjusted the clutch but it didn't help. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank You.

    If the clutch is not disengaging all the way it can cause hard shifting from a stop. Once you are rolling it will work good. It usually will not go into neutral cleanly either once the bike is stopped. Jerry

      When it is not running it is very hard to impossible to shift. When it is moving it shifts but it is very hard.
