yamahaty250xox Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) hi all I know this isnt strictly on the topic of trials bikes, but my girlfreinds brother has given me his 1999 moldel Kawasaki KX80 to try and sort out. He lent the bike to a mate in the knoledge he was to buy it. Now the bike was run without gearbox oil and now the gear box obviously has issues. The bike will only pull in neutral, any other gear and the gearbox seizes. i have striped it down to have a look at the selector and all is fine there, and this is also how i can tell it only pulls in neutral. If anyone could giva any ideas into what the hell is going on in there before i rip it all apart, i would be extreemly greatfull. many thanks max Edited December 20, 2008 by yamahaty250xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Sounds to me like at least one gear has siezed. Thats all it takes to get your symptoms. Hardly unusual if ridden without oil. You won't know the complete extent of the damage until you split the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Probably a broken shifter fork (on the one it is stuck in) which is permanately engaged. As this being the case, one cannot engage anther gear, as things will lock down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
