Guest sweep Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 I have just broken my second selector spring in 3000 miles. i knew when i bought the bike the original was going to go it was just a matter of time, but when the new one was fitted under warranty i thought i was getting a modified part! and now after 2000 miles the new one has gone tits up as well any one else had this problem or got any suggestions? i cant pull my hair our i havent got much left! :
Guest PainterX Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 I feel your pain. Had my shifter return spring replaced the end of August after a 7 week wait. Less than 1000 miles later had shifter lock down and out of gear when I downshifted last weekend. Nothing like it at 80mph in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic. Fortunately I got it to release with some frantic foot work. Hope the dealer believes me this time and I don't have to deal with it for 3 months until it gets bad enough they can replicate it. You'd have thought we would have gotten reworked springs and not old stock like we obviously got.
wildbill Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 Hank Blackstock has produced some aftermarket tranny springs that run around $12, it's done the trick for me after I went thru 2 springs myself... I think Hank may still post here from time to time...
Guest Ragin' Pit Bull Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 The official word from MGNA is that they're now getting the springs made in the US out of a heavier gague material, so there should be no problems.
