1986 Honda big red Es will not shift??

Please help me out guys. While riding I stopped for a minute. When I went to leave the bike went into gear, went a short ways then popped out. Feels like it is shifting into gears but it’s not. Can’t even get neutral. I can freely push the bike,and roll it. The neutral light doesn’t come on, or reverse light when trying to shift.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

400ex carb ajusting

so keep in mind that their is a stage 2 dyno jet kit. so went for a ride and has lots of power until high rpm they will sound smooth then it will have a quick choke like it didnt get enough air or fuel then will turn smooth again while this is happening im trying to go faster but it cant. Throttle cable adjustment, dirty carb??

Piston Dilemma….

Ok so I’m rebuild a 1985 trx125 with the lay down engine it’s standard bore and I can’t find a piston really don’t want to bore it out.I looked for a atc 125 piston and it’s a 54.00mm std bore and Atv is 55.00mm std. So could I order a atc 125 piston 4 oversize which is 55.00mm?? I’m kinda lost….

08 Foreman 500 Carb??

New to me 08 foreman 500 – I was adjusting the idle tonight and saw another adjustment knob on the right side of the carb (round black narrow adjustment knob) what is this adjustment for? Seems to be idling a little slow/rough but will idle

I’m worrying about coolant level???

Ok… I have a new 2015 Foreman Manual Shift… I LOVE IT. So, After the first 100 miles I replaced oils and filters and added a "drop" of coolant to the overflow container… it was showing closer to low line than high line… the drop put it just slightly above exact middle…. I have drove it twice since and everything seemed perfectly fine. Tonight I go out an look at it looking forward to Saturday when i can go ride again and the clear plastic overflow the level is BELOW the bottom line! KIs this normal? I don’t see a leak anywhere and the oil looked good??? should I add more coolant and get it back to the lower line/middle again??? WTH? I am freaking out about the level now.

Here’s pictures…
