I just got an 85 225 DX and joined the forum recently. I'm having a problem with the clutch. Not all the time, but frequently, the shifting lever will not move up to shift (into 3rd gear mostly). Sometimes it shifts fine and sometimes when you go to put it in 3rd, the shifting lever won't move at all. Any help is appreciated. I downloaded the manual from this site, but am a complete newbie when it comes to working on ATV's. Seems to shift better when you have it topped out in each gear. I love this trike and this is the only problem I'm having so far other than needing a new front tire.

:welcome: too the site!!!

Mine has the same problem going from 1st to 2nd some times ..the shifting on mine is real Notchy..what I mean By that is thats it has to be just right ..let off the gas /shift (in all gears). Sometimes it takes two trys.. could also be 30 years of abuse..

hopefully some other yammie owners will speak up about the shifting NOTCHY-ness...
