brian r Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Does anyone have any information on how to modify this bike to get 1st gear. My research says it's locked in second from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 At one point I saw the instructions but never did the mod. Basically, you had to pull the side cover to get to the shifting mechanism. There was a sheetmetal plate that limited shifter movement and you had to grind a slot to allow it to reach the other gear. It looked very straight forward. One thing I did learn about JR50s is that the steering bearings are the same size as bicycle steering bearings.
