  |
|
Down at a mates farm we were out collecting wood with the trailer attached. I was parked on a hill when the Grizzly started to make a clicking noise and it was rolling down the hill.
I put on the madest chase ever and just caught it and got jumped on and i was in for the ride of my life trying to stop the thing. Now i think about it i should have just let it go but it is my new toy and that didn't even come to mind all i wanted to do was tsop it.
After stuffing around pulling it apart i found out what went wrong. The nut that holds the gear selector shaft on had come loose and must have not been in gear properly.
When i fifneally stopped it an dtried to select low gear and it went to reverse and stayed there. After over 1/2 an hour my mate and me finally got it down the hill in a safe enough position to work on it.
Anyway thank fk no one got hurt
been checking the nut each day will loctite it when we get home |

Hi Hoges
A simple mistake is not to put it in park properly , sounds like that was the problem , as i can speak from experience , sometimes it feels like it is in , but in fact it is not you can hear it click in so just make sure in future, and rock the bike a little if you have to

| No i put it in properyl but the shaft that runs from the gear stick to the geaqrbox i guess the nut had come loose. with the nut loose i think it wasn't selecting gears properly ANY WAY the nut is now tight and i check it eevry day until i can get some loctite on it |
