I replaced the stator on my '08 xb12xt, I think i screwed up by putting a little grease in the shift shift bushes, At first it shifted fine from first to second, But not to 3rd., i kept trying, Around the park across the street, Not trying to force anything, Finally it would shift up, But then not down from 3rd to second, I would have to stop, Turn off the engine, rock it , And was able to get it back into neutral/1st/2nd easily...I read about making sure the spring was right on the shift shaft, Or it would shift improperly. I think the grease made the shaft too tight, Was that an error? :( (I was happy to get the stator in there by myself, I made a tool out of a head bolt from a 'suzuki gt750, ground down the ends, It worked perfect, But imagine my sorrow when it wouldn't shift into 3rd!)
