This bike has also had a side car attached to it , would that cause any problems to the frame ?:confused2:

I don't think a side car that is properly instaled would damage a frame. As for the 2nd gear issue, what kind of problems? popping out? not shifting?
It could be a segment issue, a little adjustment on the shift lever, or time to open her up and take a peek at the transmission.
The trans is going to hit you for around $500+, depending on where you go for the work. but on the bright side, what a great time to add that overdrive :clapping:

That all depends on what the problem is. Could be anything from a defective part to someone driving the bloody piss out the the thing. Or possibly if its jumping out of gear you might get lucky and adjust the lever a little lower to get a more positive shift.
What is it doing?

23 mles and the tranny is F'd up already?
Hmm sounds like Hoachiemen dropped a sushi roll in the case during the manufacturing.

Generally, when a segment goes away, you either can't upshift or downshift.
my segment went tits up on my Venture, I couldn't shift past 3rd.
What kind of problem is the guy saying it is having?

What you could get for selling the sidecar would probably cover the cost of a new tranny.

Sometimes I have the same problem with my 2nd gear.
When I am up shifting at high rpms it pops out of gear but, I have gotten into the habbit of speed shifting that some times using the clutch to up shift feels wierd to me almost like it takes too long to shift through the gears. Ilearned it on my honda cb900f and have been doing it ever since but, i`m going to try to adjust the shift lever a little downward AND MAYBE TRY USING THE CLUTCH FROM 2ND TO 3RD.LOL
