I ride the sportsman 850 touring
Went out for a nice ride on my way out fishing. No problems on the way out, I drove about 20km on a gravel road, pretty routine ride.. I hit some high speeds at times, but nothing extreme.
We got to the spot and were about to hitch up the boat...and I went to put the bike in park from high...couldnt do it. I met major resistence..and after that point I was only able to shift from Neutral to Low. I couldn't shift to High, Reverse or Park. I did force on it a little hard, and eventually popped the plastic piece that holds the shifter in place. Probably wasnt the smartest things to force it Im sure...the shifter was then all floppy and loose, so there i was in the middle of nowhere, taking the bike apart
I wasnt impressed to say the least...I was able to eventually get the plastic piece that holds the shifter back in place. Still at that point I could only shift Neutral and low, back on forth...major resistence when trying to shift to the other gears.
Soon after the bike stopped shifting altogether, and was stuck in low, and when trying to shift there is absolutely no grab with when moving the shifter..its extremely loose/...
Not sure whats up here but its seems serious..?!?!? any input would be great!
