Consumer Description

BIKE WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, UPSHIFTING ISN'T THE PROBLEM AS MUCH AS TRYING TO GET THE BIKE INTO NEUTRAL OR FIRST GEAR IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. MAKES ROAD DRIVING IMPOSSIBLE. BOUGHT THE BIKE USED FROM A DEALER, HASN'T WORKED PROPERLY FROM DAY ONE. REPLACED CLUTCH AT 5,000 MILES, THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM JUST TO FIND OUT, IMPROPER SHIFTING MECHANISM WAS THE CAUSE. HAVE BOUGHT NEW SPRINGS FOR THE SHIFTING MECHANISM, HOPEFULLY THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM, AS TO IT SEEMS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE NEXT TO JUST SCRAPPING A POORLY DESIGNED BIKE. READING SIMILAR CASES ONLINE IT IS UNDER MY BEST ASSUMPTION THAT IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THIS SPRING HAS LED TO POOR OPERATION. IN MY RESEARCH OF ONLINE SERVICE MANUALS, IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE SPRING NOT INSTALLED TO SPECS. NOT SO MUCH BACKWARDS AS UPSIDE DOWN. BIKE DOES NOT WORK. *TR
