    thanks!

    I posted a little while back about this, and I've made some progress. I was having tranny issues so I did an oil change and previous to that threw some SeaFoam in the case for about 20 miles, it seems to have cleared things up quite a bit, while as earlier I could only shift If I toggled the back wheel back-n-forth, and pressed crazy hard, now I shift with almost no effort if the bikes moving. My question then is three-fold. 1. Is it normal that when you go into gear from start that the bike jerks forward a little bit even with the clutch in? it's kind of sounds like a big "CLICK" puts the gear in place a jerks a bit as it does so. Is that normal? I've never had a bike that does that 2. Why is that I can almost never get into first when I'm not moving? 2nd's usually ok, but 1st refuses to go unless I rock forward a bit, is that normal? and 3. It probably sounds like a stupid question to you guys who are so familiar with Ventures, but where's the air filter on this bike? Thanks! James

    Hey! Thanks for all the help guys! I'll try what cowpuc said first with the oil and clutch fluid before opening anything up , it was running when I bought it and had just had an oil change, but it is a pretty old bike so it can't hurt. I've used Seafoam before on bikes , example being an old seca 750 i had with a wet clutch, put it right in the crankcase a bit before an oil change and it cleared things up, any chance that would just end up hurting the clutch? I figure a solvent might help getting any gunk inside their off, but I think you guys would probably know better than I do

    actually I got it up on the centerstand and tried pushing the rear wheel back and for like suggested and now it'll go into gear,still takes a little bit more force than usual though, I guess I could get a new shifter linkage in there and probably ride it like that, but I'm super worried if I stress it or try riding it it's just going to happen again. Also, I noticed that even with the clutch all the way in and in neutral the rear wheel still spins a bit and whenever it does go into gear, especially first, there's a loud click and the bike moves a bit as it pops into gear, is that normal, I feel like it shouldn't be.

    Hey rjjammer! I've got an 83 royale i'm trying to get running well again, unfortunately though I bent the double headed screw for the shifting linkage really badly, any chance that you would still have one you'd be willing to part with?

    From everything i've heard that sounds the most plausible, I sent a message to wilz about the parts, and I have a pretty good aptitude for eye-balling parts and fixes, but the link cowpuc sent me doesn't actually mention the "how" of going in and replacing or fixing the cam-shaft segment, any chance that'd be in the service manual or that you'd have some advice or a link to help with that?

    Hey wilz! I just developed a problem with my shifter not budging from 2nd gear and cowpuc linked to me to this forum recomending that I upgrade the shift cam segment. So if you still have the parts I guess then i'm a "someone in need" if your still willing to let them go.

    Hey Heather! thanks for the reply, its a 83 royale, the issue is more like the second, it wont budge into any gear but 2nd and neutral. Pretty lame considering the whole reason I got the bike was to take my wife out to yellowstone this summer, can't afford to drop 1000$ into having it torn apart so any way I could get around this within the limits of what a reasonable do-it yourself-er could handle would be great. Right now I have a bent shifter that'll need to be replaced so the only way I can check the gears is with a set of vice grips. Any idea how I can replace that little double screw on there without dolling out 30$ for a whole new assemble, and waiting 2ish weeks? it seems like there should be someway of getting a double headed screw that dimension.

    Ok. so update is that bongoboby was totally right about the kickstand thing and the clutch not letting go, but I still can't get it past 2nd, and now it won't even go into 1st, any other ideas about what going on without me taking everything apart? any chance just giving it a bunch of solvent to clean things out right before any oil change would make any difference?
  10. Jpischke
    Sounds like a good idea to try, would that really keep a guy from going past 2nd gear though, seems a bit weird to me, any idea where to look up how to do what you described in more detail?
  11. Jpischke
    Hey!thanks for answering so quickly! I actually just went out and checked the clutch and it's not working at all, I can start up in neutral, but can't get it into gear without it shutting off, do you think what you mentioned about the gear selector cage would be worth going after first, or should I try trouble shooting the clutch and seeing if it's just stuck or something.

    So, I've heard alot about this infamous 2nd gear issue, I don't seem to have that on my bike, by struggle is getting into 3-5, the shifter won't budge past second, first,neutral 2nd all work, but it won't go further , i tried adjusting the shift , but after doing that I just ended up putting so much force into I bent the adjustment screw, any advice on what I should do or where to get a new screw?
