2013 kX450F tranny issues
« on: September 13, 2012, 05:43:06 AM »
so we picked up a brand new KX450F within an hour of it being received get one ride on it. goes like a butt-bubbler break in is in full swing. second ride we go out and on third moto i come down out of a corner and try to shift to third only to find it is stuck in second. "Launch Mode" button on handle bar is blinking like a browneye in the Village People, but then the bulb bunt out. less than an hour on the bike. so now it is back at the dealership repair bill, big bill large bill very huge repair bill(not under warranty).
just wondering if any other 11-13 owners have had any problems like this?

I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..

Did not know Green bikes ever got the problems worked out with the cdi and lower end bearing gear concerns , unless it is a blue printed motor like Bell rides or team green used they are not long course bike

Did the shift fork brake

PS sorry for the loss

It's not a joke. Having transmission issues sucks. I think its odd how the same gear and same problem occurred at the same time to two different people during a similar event. That's all.

I think it might have been because the guy riding the bike before was charging as hard as he could, trying to show off on the street. If he was shifting without the clutch, he might have stress fractured the third gear cog or dogs because the rear hub has nothing in it to absorb the shock, and the clutch basket doesn't either.

If they shift hard on the street with this kind of transmission, it screws it up I guess.
