I just purchased an 07 wee and I'm having some issues with the shifting.

With foot on peg as normal I can shift from 1st to second no problem. But shifting from 2nd to third it wont shift unless I move my boot forward on the peg, then from 4th to 5th I have to move my boot further forward yet. Its almost like the shift lever wants to go up and out (forward).

I had a buddy try shifting while on the center stand and he experienced the same thing.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Thanks

Try adjusting the shift lever to different positions. It sounds to me the leverage with the type of boot you are using is off a little. Also, the linkage probably could use some tlc by lubing the uniball joints. If it were a clutch or tranny issue I would think there would be other issues you would be experiencing.

Motocycle sequential shift box - you need to let the shift lever return before you can go another gear.

Make an effort to lower your toe, then go back up.

I will see about adjusting it.

As far as letting the level come back to center, I do as did my buddy who experienced the same thing..

Thanks.
