Is it electric shift?? Or by foot?

 

[LB7Diesel]

Electric.. When you push the Downshift Button it is Rotating the Shaft down by the Foot-Peg. But it won't Downshift.. I've rocked it back and forth pushing the Button at the same time. It just won't Come out of 5th???

Undo the linkage on the shaft. Get a big set of pliers on it. I had to do this on my polaris a lot of times.

On second thought do you mean it is rotating the shaft?? or the shaft is locked??

When I push the Downshift Button it is rotating the Shaft down where a foot shifter would be.. ???

Bike transmissions have drum with pins and a double ended pawl that rotates the drum by the pins. The drum has cammed grooves in it that move the shifter forks which in turn slide the gears in and out of engagement. When it gets stuck in highest or lowest gear, normally the pawl has screwed up in various ways. If tapping on it or trying to turn the shifter shaft (this has the pawl on it) won't do it, you'll have to pull the side cover. Normally this is a pretty easy procedure on most bike, and fairly risk free. You must have oil and a new gasket ready beforehand, and if the screws are Phillips you will need an "impact driver" which is normally available in the tool area in a bike shop.

Does the shaft go back to where it was when you let off of the button or just keep rotating on around if you keep pushing it? If you need any pictures or a copy of some pages from a service manual I can copy them and send em to you.
