I have a 2005 CRF 80. The shift lever has stripped the knerling on the shift rod coming from the gear box. Is this a difficult repair or can the shift lever be welded on?

To fix it properly you need to strip the engine You can just weld it on but cool with water as the seal will melt It isn't good welding it on as they do tend to snap the weld sooner or later. But nothing to loose if it keeps breaking you just replace the worn shaft anyway

Sounds like a shift fork is bent. This is a classic symptom. It is best to let the shop do the repair.

SOURCE: Unable to shift second gear and up on a CRF 250 X 2008

You have a bent shift fork. The repair means taking the engine out of the frame then removing the top end, removing the flywheel and electrics, removing the clutch , shift mechanism and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to remove the gears and then the bent shift fork. Next you get to put it all back together. This is a pretty big job for the home mechanic.

You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter and torque wrench plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it".
I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project.

Please rate this answer, (even though it's not what you wanted to hear). :-)

SOURCE: 2004 CRF 100 shift lever seal leak

Yes. Once you remove the engine cover and expose the shaft and seal, carefully pry the old seal out with a small flat blade screwdriver. Apply some grease to the inside diameter of the new seal, slide it over the shift shaft (clean it first) - and press it in place.

First be sure there is adequate oil in the gearbox. Hard shifting is indicative of a bent shift fork or two. The engine will need to come out of the bike. Remove the top end, the flywheel and electrics, the clutch, shift shaft and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to get to the crankshaft, gears and shift forks.


You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter, torque wrench and factory service manual, plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it". I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project and they have a knowing eye working on the engine. Below is a diagram showing how the shift drum moves the shift forks left & right to change gears. Please rate this answer. Thanks.

Gears stuck

Unlees you have had a loss of gear oil this is unusual.
I would first remove the linkage on the gearbox and see i i could manually move the shifter. Obviously, if i could, then the fault is in the shift rods or lever.
If the gear shift on the bix is jammed, the box will gave to come out for strip down and inspect or get another gearbox.

I just replaced the broken shift rod. Is there a certain gear or position the drum should be in? I cant get first gear.

Whatever it was that caused the shift rod to break also bent a shift fork inside the gear box. The only way to fix it is to tear down the engine. Sorry.

Gear lever has dropped down and i have no first

It sounds like the splines have stripped on your shift pedal. Can you bring it back to the normal position and tighten it? I had the same thing happen on a honda kick starter, I neglected it to the point that it couldn't be repaired without replacing the shaft. Try the tightening I suggested and see if it helps, you may need a new shift pedal if the splines are stripped. Good Luck! i hope you find this very helpful!

No 5th gear

You managed to bend a shift fork. The fork can not slide the slider gear all the way into 5th gear.
This repair is not for the amature. Sorry to have to send you the bad news. Time for a visit to the dealers service department.

Foot gear pedal moves but bike wont go into gear. pedal is reaaly lose and ideas? the pedal got caught on a gate an was ripped down which has caused the problem. pedal feels like it has been stripped on...

Wish I could see the bike but the following may help. Remove the shift pedal and look at the mounting hole. It should have groves in it which align with groves on the outside on the shifting shaft. If the groves on the shaft and / or the pedal are messed up, ( stripped ), then you need to decide what repair will work. Try re-mounting the pedal on the shaft and see if tightening the mount bolt extra tight will work. If not, you could pin the shift lever to the shaft. I don't know what bike this is but you probably have more serious problems than just a stripped shift lever or stripped shaft.......

...... A shift drum pin may have been sheared. The shift lever return spring and / or shift lever drum spring may have been broken or knocked out of place. The shift lever positioning C ring may have broken allowing the shift shaft to be out of place and not catching the shift pins. These are relatively minor problems to fix but the likelyhood is that you now have a bent shift fork......

...... A bent shift fork requires the engine be removed and torn down to about 75 pieces then reassembled with new shift fork(s). I have done this repair many times as a bike shop mechanic. Some special tools are needed and a good bit of knowhow. This is not a repair for the beginner. How about you take the bike to a dealer and ask them to just glance at the shifter and see what they think. It won't cost you to just ask for their ideas on the problem. Please post how you come out on this. I am curious what you find.
