Title: second gear problem
Post by: Spyke0077 on January 04, 2019, 05:49:15 AM
I just bought a 1999 Drifter1500, riding the bike in second gear and accelerating, it jumps in and out of gear, all the other gears are OK. Anny one else had this problem?

Hi Spike, and welcome aboard.
I can't help ya out with your problem, as I'm not a mechanic. But it sounds like a clutch issue...
I'm sure that one of the Gurus of this Forum will soon help ya.
Ride safe.

Jumping in and out of gear is a symptom of worn gear 'dogs'.

Yes that is what I was thinking, but I never had it jump back into gear again. Will take the engine appart to have a look.
