Matthew Anderson 0 Posted July 23, 2021 Hi to AKATV. I have a 2011 Foreman 4X4 ES (USA model) that was imported into Australia. Intermittently the gears will NOT shift up or down. At times the gears work fine and then suddenly and depending on the gear selected at the time, will not shift. The (stuck) gear will rapidly blink three times. Using the change gear tool does assist towards placing the bike into an appropriate gear to limp home. i.e. I can manually change up and down gears through using the change gear tool. All advice is greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Anderson 0 Posted July 24, 2021 Thanks Prov. I've reposted under the "Electronics" section. Shadetree, thanks for your advice. Unfortunately fresh grease has not rectified the issue. Back to the drawing board for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
