my 07 caby (new in 08) was very stiff and knotchy jumping out of gear from time to time, my dealer suggested making a concentrated effort to make sure every change is solid, he has not seen tranny issues, once run in it should be fine. he was right, shifts great now that its run in, hope thats all it is...

cheers

This can happen if the gear shift shaft gets bent at all, also i have seen this when the shift return spring goes. Not a difficult job to fix tw bikesport did mine for little cash.

Hi,

A friend of mine has a 08 290 and has had trouble with the fork on the end of the selector shaft.

Aparently the fork is a different material to the shaft,one is harder that the other but i cant remember which one is which,the fault is the weld that holds fork to the shaft is not very good because of the two different materials.

My friend has had his go twice,i think Sherco importers are aware and very helpful i believe??
