Re-engineering the Shift Spring

Be certain the external shift assembly is properly adjusted and the lever does not strike anything (like the Frame Side Plate).

There is another spring (of three) that re-centers the lever. It could need attention, as well. Perhaps, it was installed backward. See Image 7 in the first post of the link below . . .

@Lucky Phil produced this fabulous tutorial:

 

Phil thanks for the advice.  I do a check up.

Hey Scud I’ve had a few springs from you for bikes here in the uk and I’m in need of another one if you can oblige

If I may ask, since you've had a few, have any of them failed?

[Steve S]

No failures so far

May be best to either pm (Message) scud or use the  "@Scud" embed to trigger a notification . . .

In a rare occurrence... I actually saw this before you, Docc. Steve and I are using PMs now.

And in response to 4Corsa's question - I have not yet heard of a single failure of the new spring.

Also - Steve is willing to forward additional springs within the UK. So if anyone else in UK wants one, let me know via PM in the next few days.

That's great to hear! I installed a Scud spring over 2 years and 5k miles ago and no problems.

Thanks, but this would not have been possible without Chuck and all the other input on this incredibly long topic. These Chuck-engineered springs give us all the confidence to take longer rides without fear of losing the ability to shift far from home.

It was just pay back to the community for all it does for V11S.

@ScudRequesting a Super Spring for my Scura. Scouring the topics and posts for other necessities before attempting to correct the issue. Issue: Shifter drops below 1st and won't come back up through neutral. Shifts through 3rd are fine, but falls out of 5th to 4th. Can't grab any gear other than 4th (?) at this point.

Make sure the shifter / pivot bolt have not rusted together . TRUST ME on that one .

I just send a PM.

But I agree with gstallons that it sounds like a linkage problem.
