As you can tell. The left bar is bent. For some reason, that bar had gotten so tough to move in / out of neutral. Felt like it was rusty, or grinding / popping sound when trying. I had to use some force, which you can see. Dry lube helps for a limited time. Any thoughts on what, why it does this. The right side is still smooth, but feels like it may need help soon.
Because of the bend, it does not rest against the orange guard.
I could not get to that bolt, which if I recall is a 15mm. I did just buy a cheap, super small Harbor Freight air wrench. I hope can fit in there to (help me out here) to get that bolt off to remove the handle? My plan is to try and bend it back to shape on the vice.
In this pic, I pushed the handle up to the guard to show.
The damper is what I just replaced on the left side. The other main problem that I am having is that when I start her up; all is fine. But, when I have to put the bars in neutral she will just spin on a dime non-stop. The brake applied does not stop her. I basically got to stand up or turn the key off. But, when I turn it back on it will not move until I get out of neutral to go forward or backward. So, obviously it is the new damper, so did I do something wrong with install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
