    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is there anything you can do if all gears are working except all the teeth on 2'nd gear are broken. I have to go from 1'st to 3'rd (bit dangerous) Anyone know how much this would be to fix and where I could fix something like this unless it isn't worth it. Everything else is working well.
 
I would definitely suggest that you not ride the bike until you can be sure that the teeth of the 2nd gear have not gone somewhere dangerous. Transmission lockup can easily be fatal to bike and rider.
 
It depends on your machanical ability. It requires engine removal and splitting the cases to repair the trans If you are thinking of having someone do it?? It would be cheaper to try and find another engine.
 
It is possible to replace the second gear on these bikes. When he sold it to me, the previous owner told me he had to have the second gear replaced right after he purchased it from the original owner. I've had zero problems with it so far! :)
 
Bron,
If you are willing to spend the money to have the transmission dogs cut down (re-squared off) at a machine shop I may have a complete 550 transmission gear set if you are interested. Though You may want to check with a shop/manual whatever to make sure an 81 and 85 transmission is the same. I know that in 82 the engines went through some changes, but I'm not sure if the transmission was one of them.

PM me and we can work out the details.

Major changes between the 81 & 85 I don't think the trans would be the same
