250ES shifter won't return up on downshifts
This trike runs great, has been maintained, no issues riding for the past few years. Was out riding on the weekend, and all of a sudden when I downshift, the shifter won't pop back up. I have to put my toe under the lever and manually bring the shifter back. Doesn't happen when upshifting, only when downshifting. On top of this, it wouldn't shift out of neutral into first while running. Turned the trike off and kicked the left crankcase with my boot hoping this would free up something as I was in the middle of nowhere. Luckily it did engage into first and I was able to upshift from there and limp it home.
I've done some searching on this issue (seems to happen with the SX as well), but just wanted to clarify one thing...is it best to start with opening the left crankcase cover or the right to inspect what's going on?
