'03 Rm 85 stuck in gear!!!!! help - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

BoogieDownBrown · 04-22-2005, 09:52 PM

hello, heres my problem. my son was on his last lap and crossed the finish line jump. he said when he landed that he heard a BIG CRACK sound. i tried to down shift the bike and try to get it in gear, but it won't shift up or down. it is "locked" into gear. the bike does start up and it will move with the clutch in. it seems to me that it is stuck in 4th gear cause i had to get the RPMs up to get it moving. anyways... i was wondering if you guys had an idea of what this could be and what would be the cost of the repair. also i was wondering whats a good website to look up parts for this paticular bike. thanx for all the help. Aaron

On rare occasions a rider may land from a jump and if his foot bumped the shift lever he could cuase it to shift out of that gear into another. This isnt a problem unless he had the revs way up. Sounds like a shift fork or one of the syncro's let go. You can split the cases in no time as the bike is very easy to work on.

The posts you replied to are 3+ YEARS old and Aaron shows only about 3 posts.

This means that he probably came here just for help with his problem and will never be heard from again.

Maybe someone else can help.
