   |  Transmission Problem???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today is the first time I experienced this, so please help me out a little on this. On my Kat 600, when I shift into second gear and accelerate hard it makes a "skipping" noise as if 2nd gear needs adjustment. Since this is a wet clutch, there is no adjustments so immediately I started thinking Shift Forks!! But I figured if it was the shift forks causing the issue I would have problems in all the other gears, but 1, 3-6 work fine, no problems at all. If I shift into 2nd and take it easy, there is no "skipping" at all. Has anyone ever heard of this I would figure if there was some teeth missing on the gear, it would skip regardless . Or is it the bushings between 2nd gear causing the issue?? I even thought about the clutch, but that would happen through all the gears. I shifted it into third gear and hit the gas hard and it just accelerated, no problem at all. Unfortunately its starting to sound as if I'm losing 2nd gear to some worn part or something. Very depressing! Crap, I hope this doesn't mean I have to split the crankcase to find out what's really going on!!! If I did that, there would be no sense not replacing the rings and honing the cyclinders, heck just do a small rebuild on it. I am depressed, someone tell me somthing good!! |
