    Pull the clutch cover and look at the shift drum center screw to see if is tight and also the pawls in the ratchet can get crud on them or pins and stick.Look for bent/broken springs etc.Also make sure the drive chain is not too tight.billf

    Does this apply to an 07 TE510 that it is difficult to shift into 3rd? I notice it mostly on the road, but I am not sure I tried to shift into 3rd in the woods. Thanks, I just bought it used and the previous owner didn't have the problem.
