    Okay guys so the only way to shut this bike down is to pull the magnet. I didn't know anything about magnets other than they attract each other 😆 and I'm not going to wear this magnet out pulling it off and putting it back on to start it right? I've owned 8 different bikes since 1973 and they all had a button. The Enduro Yamahas had a key if I remember correctly. You guys can send some of your rain here to Western Pennsylvania it's pretty dry here 

    Welcome to the wacky world of trials!  You will find that things are a little different here, like our kill switches.
    I would recommend using the lanyard on your left wrist. If (when) you tip the bike over onto its right side and the engine is revving to the moon, a quick jerk of your left hand away from the handlebar will stop the runaway beast.

    A bit more detail: the magnet is in the red cap thing.  The switch is in the black part attached to tha handlebar  Neither should wear out.  That said, another thing that will inevitably happen is your magnet being launched off of your wrist and into the tall weeds by the elastic strap.  This is when a spare magnet waiting on the end of a convenient bolt comes in very handy (ask me how I know).

    A fellow by the name of David Scarbro sells a variety of trials-related do-dads in his Etsy shop:

     Among them, a magnet cap that is larger in diameter than the switch base and straps that are not elastic.  The former makes it easy to tip the magnet a bit and kill the engine.  The latter is less likely to slingshot the magnet into your nose than the elastic strap (again, ask me how I know). There is also a gadget to make the foot on you kick stand larger. 

     

    Enjoy!

    Does it shift easily with the engine off ?  If so, probably just clutch drag. What oil are you using, atf improves the smaller rotax's, plus a bit of technique 😁

    Behavior is the same running or not. The lever move up and down to the stop and springs back to center. However, there is no feeling of the lever movement engaging the shift drum or moving gears.

    Not having been into the trans and looking only at the attached diagram, I might venture to guess that perhaps the Pawl Positioning Screw (#40) is sheared and therefore not transferring the movement of the Transmission Actuating Lever (#36) to the Pawl Assembly (#37).

    Just a guess…

  3. Hello!

    I am looking for a Service Manual for a 1984 SWM Jumbo 350 TL (or something close).

    I need to try to work out the cause of a "won't shift out of neutral" issue.

    The link provided by Martin above no longer works.  

    I'm looking in the Wayback Machine but that URL does not work there either.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

     

    Thank you!
