Hello...
Well, I was trying to get time off to make a road trip to purchase one of three Tri-Z's....but a nice 1984 200X just dropped into my lap. I weigh around 315 (former weightlifter with a little bit of frozen pizza waist). This bike still has the original tires on it, headlight, etc...along with a Cobra pipe on it. It runs nice, and I was surprised that it was able to haul my fat butt up some serious mud-covered hills at my local riding area.....the only problem I am having is the tranny. It shifts from 2-5th gear and 5th-2nd gear just fine, but going from 2nd to neutral to 1st gear is a bit of a pain....I cannot seem to get it into 1st, and it will finally click into gear after some coaxing with my foot....
Any thoughts? Synchros? The clutch appears to be adjusted okay, as it works the rest of the time....
