Mine does that in first... likely because I have stomped it too hard and bent something... but its been doing it for about 4 seasons. I suppose I will eventually have to open up the box and fix it... I suspect its not a 20 minute job!!!

I just began to notice a problem on my 1999 Drifter 1500. When I shift from 2nd to 3rd I find that the gear doesnt engage and leaves me in neutral. If I kick the gear again it goes right into 3rd. The bike never slips out of gear once engaged. The problem only happens when shifting into 3rd gear and only happens once maybe every 10 gear changes.

I typically shift into 3rd between 2700-3100 RPM. I havent found a pattern if I shift low or high RPM.

Any thoughts about the extent (repair) of the problem I am facing? I don't want to make the problem worse and money is tight to invest in what might be a costly repair.
