Well hello al. Im new to the forum and to Atv's. Well iv'e road them before....anyways I just got a 86? Suzuki LT 125. Cleaned the carb up (really nasty!) and got it running. Sounds good....but the problem is I can only go in reverse. I shift it in nuetral and I can go in reverse but i can't for the life of me get it in gear???? What the F**k am I doing wrong? There are numbers on the shifter by the N ..1234> Please let me know what im doing wrong> Thanks in advance. Bryan

Well did I say something wrong? or does no one know what to do? 

It is very possible that nobody knows what to tell you, or the right person just has not looked at your post yet. I actually googled it this morning to see if I could find any info for you but nothing helpful came out of it.

My "guess" would be that there is some kind of a lever or something that has to be activated to put it in reverse. If there is maybe it is stuck or hidden or something and keeping it in reverse.

But honestly I couldn't identify a LT125 if I was sitting on it....

I would guess the same thing. Look around the engine to see if you can find a lever. They are often spring loaded. On a beartracker I once owned the lever was way up front on the side of the engine and hard to see.

Good Luck.

 well in the media center there is a picture of one. Member Gaber said it was his first atv. Thanks for replying jshtex

I looked it up on www.mrcycles.com parts diagram and it looks like it has a secondary shifter (listed under shifters) that is the reverse gear.

Maybe this link will work http://www.mrcycles.com/fiche_section_detail.asp

Can I post pictures on here?

Go to www.mrcycles.com and look up the bike. There appears to be a secondary shift lever for reverse.
