:welcome:

Please do us all a favor and work on your grammar. You are not going to get a lot of replies if you keep "texting".

There is a very good chance if you change the oil it will fix the problem. It is not guaranteed, but there is a good chance. Please don't start another thread asking what oil to use. We have waaayyy too many threads on oil as it is.

o im not i just didnt know anything about the transmission and im sorry about my grammar ill work on it but thanks for the reply

[bigworm626]

todeep,
Stick with me on this one, i won't ding you. Change the oil, use 20-50w 4 stroke motor oil. Is it hard to shft when the bike is on? Also try to down load a manual from this site.

[bigworm626]

look up dammit on the search, he has the manua you need.

[todeep]

ok i been changing the oil with 10 40w ill run it for a little while and then ill change it and it gets clearer than before ill go to town and 20 50w and it wont shift at all

[todeep]

yeh i got two trikes given to me one was that 125m and the other was a 200m i cant wait till i get it home and work on it

watch out for the comma police and grammar patrol

Todeep, Welcome to the boards. Does the transmission click or try to go into gear when you push the shifter up or down? If it does not the you may have a broken shift fork. I know this may sound stupid, but have you checked to see if the chain is there?

[todeep]

it clicks but it ain't moving nothing yes i put the chain back on the sprocket and left the cover off so i could see what its doing its just not going out of neutral

[fabiodriven]

I've had to do this on an ATC 70 and a 110 before. This was years ago and it's a bit barbaric, but it may work.

The tranny seemed as though it wouldn't come out of neutral like you describe. If I looked at the neutral indicator it looked as though it gone past the mark for neutral. I removed the plastic dial from the neutral indicator shaft, put a set of vice grips on the shaft, and turned it back to where it should be. Then the tranny would operate the way it should. If I remember correctly, it kept periodically happening on the 70. But on the 110 I think it was fixed after I turned it back and changed the oil.

Ever wonder why most of the threads you post in are all newbies haggard? It's because nobody wants to struggle to read your chicken scratch. Try using your brain for a minute.

Redkote, Kreem, POR 15 gas tank sealer, Caswell, take your pic. They all work well. We used Redkote on my 110 and it worked really well. The only problem was it clogged up the tube for the gas to flow through in the "on" position so I have to run it on reserve all the time. I could probably fix it, I just haven't gotten around to it.

[todeep]

ive been riding it up and down the road and around the yard i got 2 other questions how to get the brakes working and it is bogging down after riding a little while and dieing can yall answer these questions

[Woodsrider]

If it's bogging AFTER riding a while, it could be that your gas cap is not venting(could be other things too...this is easy to check)...the next time it starts bogging, loosen the gas cap a little so some air can get in to see if it fixes it. If that's your problem, I've heard that you can drill a tiny hole somewhere in the gas cap...I don't know where though. Check it first and if that's your problem, someone here knows the trick with drilling the hole in the gas cap. You really should have a manual(you can download them from this site somewhere for free) to help you with your brakes. You need to make sure that your cables (and other things)are not siezed, that your shoes and drums are within spec, and that everything is adjusted properly.

[fabiodriven]

One problem I have always had with my 110's and 125 M's (and I've had a few) is the same bogging problem you describe. The carb on my current 110 is perfectly clean and there is nothing wrong with it, however- sometimes when you are riding it it starts to bog and it gets worse as you hit the throttle. When this happens I stop, grab a rock from the ground, and tap it on the carb either while it's running or if the machine has since died. This trick works every time for me. I have had to do this with ALL of my 110's and 125 M's. I think it may be a problem with the float, but I'm not sure. Don't destroy your carb pounding on it with a boulder. Just some taps from an apple-sized rock on the side of the carb will do.

my bike did the same just put some dman good oil in it and put a lil geer oil or loob in with it and it should work right
