Gear selection issue
 

Hi my Tenere recently ticked over 50k it has been ridden off road for 95% of that and never spared. The oil gets changed every 3 to 5 k and the bike has proformed above anything I had ever hoped for.
Last weekend on the way home leading 16 bikes on a two day ride I noticed that the bike stuck in 2nd then came out continued fine up and down through the gears then later did it in 3rd and then although shifted through the gears felt as though something was fouling on gear stick the problem continued all the way home randomly. I have removed the oil filter and checked it had no metal in it or the oil when drained

I ask if anyone here as there is no greater source of information with these bikes on the net. So has ayone seen, heard or experienced this?

Thank you in advance

Greg

hi Greg, look here http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=19882 as it is the first place to check, also make sure the gear lever spindle is not bent and is moving freely. I kinda documented my gearbox failure its at http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=17351
