Title: synchronizer 2nd gear
Post by: James Giddens on September 15, 2013, 11:42:35 AM
Has anyone replaced the second gear synchronizer? On my 99 1500 2nd gear pops out when throttle is applied, will stay in for a few moments at low throttle. All other gears fine.

There are no synchros in a motorcycle transmission. The problem is going to be worn shift dogs or a bent shift fork, or both...This is what was wrong with mine when I bought it.

I don't really know but I thought that later model Gold Wings have synchronizes??  Anyone know.  Just curious.
