More info...?

Does it actually shift to Hi2 or can you not move the lever from Hi4...

If it shifts to Hi2 and then goes nowhere...do you have a tailshaft?

yeh mate it feels like its in hi2 but it stays still when i go to take off. it can keep going straight up to low 4 aswell? i dont know if its supposed to do that because on the gear knob you have to go down then left and up? tailshaft is there also. cheers

Have you pulled the cover off the gear sticks to make sure nothing is getting in its way

this makes it sound like your just putting it in netrual

Your saying you can pull it right down to Hi4 but it won't slide left and up into Hi2??

Yea I'd say pull the cover off and check the lever is in the right position i know mine can fit between the forks and sometimes i accidentally get it in the wrong position and have to pull it out to re-align it.
