I have been riding LT´s for 8 years. Logged over 95,000 miles on 2 different bikes. I have ridden in every state in the U.S. I doubt if anyone likes the lt more than i do. I have a problem with my 2005. The spring is broken on my shifter. Before i take the shifter plate off, I´m wondering if anyone can give me a little insight as to what to expect when I remove it.
