I tried. It's worse than going gym.

 

I sweat like mad. The metal too thick already.

dude.. u need a pivot point..

u cannot pull it just like that..

the longer the ring head spanner the better; lesser force needed..

try applying the force by ur leg instead if you feel ur hands dun have the strength to..

[kambing]

u can also take that part out actually and try knocking..

removable by an allen key..

best if u have a clamp.. then knock until u song..

I think I'll just drag first gear to motordiam.. Today I pull and knock until I fed up. Got so many people looking at me in the carpark. I took off my shirt (sweating like hell) and was armed with a hammer.

 

Fortunately, nobody called the police.

ha dude i just encountered the exact same problem. u need 2 people. one person will hold the bike steady and at the same time hold down the end of the gear pedal. the other will use a spanner and pull it using ur body weight and strength basically squatting and leaning back . hope it works out for u. heal well.

the shop oso use a big ring spannar to bring the lever back to its position.

[anakin]

yup, agree with wat bro kambing said, which is to use a spannar, find a pivot point and bring the lever back to position (very much like opening the lid of milo tin). my rear brake lever was dented the same way as your gear lever before and i saw the mechanic using this method to bring it back to position.

 

good luck bro...

[nebulaz]

harvested, sms me 91116170..i might be able to help you...asap k bro..I got a used gear lever..u can take it..

[fabian]

... just use a hollow metal pipe, slot it in and slowly pull it out. Saw mechanics done that.

I did it!

 

I used the bike's frame as a pivot (put a cloth between to prevent scratches) and pulled the gear lever out towards me. Gotta use quite a bit of strength, but I am happy because I saved money!

I tried riding around my neighbourhood. No problems at all!

[an_jing3]

hi jus got my self a vtec 1. one day when i am traveling and i do a hard brake at traffic light in my fourth gear and the engine die off . the problem is i cant kick down my gear it just stuck at the gear i was in and i have to move in order i can shift my gear down.

 

any one have this prob oso.

[A.X]

check ur clutch cable ba

[Manzz]

You could try letting go a bit of clutch and roll the bike forward or backward a bit then clutch in again and try shifting ur gear..

[cheng0605]

yah, need to release abit of clutch and kick down ur gear, like what u learn in emergency braking lor....

 

[Crazy]

Recently i have this problem, when riding on 2nd or 3rd gear (Cant remember) as i engaging to a higher gear, there is a glock glock glock sound (As is the chain/gear is droping) at the gearbox area then the gear drop back to the 2nd or 3rd gear. Hope you guys can catch what i saying. Clutch slip?

[pyro13]

the last time i had tat problem.

 

my clutch housing broke.

 

there will be a very aggresive sound.

 

a new clutch housing can set u abt 300 at everbright!

[Crazy]

Wow $300 !!!! Then do u know when to change timing chain? Cause my bike sometimes got tick tick tick sound then the ppl from the shop tell me that i might need to change the timing chain.

[Crazy]

by the way the gear problem not very frequent.

[Hodaha_19]

Hi guys,

 

Mi sometime have gear 'dropped out' problem

 

Lats Nite, Mi was moving off smoothly then click pass neutral into 2nd gear. I picked up hard till bout 7000rpm thats where my 2nd gear dropped itself to neutral...

 

Any idea what has cause this?

 

My ride is spec III. 3 yrs old bike, no signs of clutch slippage when hard acceleration. clutch freeplay is bout 25mm.

 

cheers

[cheng0605]

maybe gears not engaged properly, try kick abit harder to see....

[ABOY9999]

this is due to the gear that you kick you must kick hard to let it stay at 2nd gear if not when you break it will oso dorp one gear down by itself

[Fx3]

maybe u shld change ur engine oil..kick ur gear hard will make ur gear shift broken.

[Metaphor]

try use a BIG BIG ring spanner , let the ring slip in through the rubber side of the gear shifter , use the frame side of the spanner to hold it/lock it, adjust ur hand 2 near 2 the other side of the ring spanner & pull it back ... have some 1 2 support the bike just it case ... hope it help i saw bike shop do that ...

 

Yeah man... better off using a metal pole... that fits...
