250-500cc husky wr 300 gearbox fault

Hi there I have a wr 300 2011 I have a problem getting into second gear not every time but most times I get stuck in netrual and it takes a few seconds for it to go in when bike is stoped it goes through gears no problem checked oil for any metal shavings but oil is clean I am thinking it could be a bent selector any help or advise given I'd be very grateful

There is a countersunk allen bolt that holds the selector star on the shift drum that has been known to come loose. I can't remember if the clutch has to come off to access it, but I think so.

Thank you so if I remove the clutch I should get access to the selector as not wanting to split engine if a can help it

If that is the problem it will be an easy fix.

Yes, it is usually a sign of that bolt coming loose. Mine did it. Eventually, you will be stuck in a gear and not be able to shift at all. It's better to check it now before you get stranded. Mine got stuck in first about 5 miles from the car. It was a looong ride back. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/uh-oh-i-cant-get-my-11-wr300-out-of-1st-gear.25035/

Yep, definitely the issue. I had it as well.

Pull the clutch, pull the inner clutch cover. Pull the shifter out of the way. Pull the bolt out, clean it up and lock tite the shit out of it, put it all back together, ride on.
