Torsion spring #6
Read up a bit more and realized the problem is probably the #6 torsion spring. Hard to believe that would break but maybe something came loose causing the spring to not return the shift shaft into position. Now I want to get in there right away and find out !!!!!

That happened to a friends bike a few years back and it turned out that a washer out of place in that shaft had allowed the racheting fork (#28) to slip out of place and not catch the pins on the shift drum.
Could be a pin starting to slip out also.
Is it happening in just 1 gear or all gears.
A weak pedal return spring can cause the same condition.Greg

Thank You Greg !
Yes, I can play with it and get it into all 5 gears and neutral but it is always sloppy, about an inch more play than normal and very loose.
Since none of those springs are the exact number I wonder which might fit ?
But I'm jumping the gun here so to speak, tomorrow I'll get it apart and report back what I find going on in there ?76 XS650 C ROADSTER

Sounds like the return spring, not broken but weak. Had that happen on the SF I had a while back.Greg

Found
Well ,,,,,,,, went to the bar where the bike was hidden in the back to check out the SS and the bike was gone.
Knowing the thieves would not drive it far because of the shifting issue I circled the area, sure nuf 3 blocks up and 2 blocks over it was parked on the street, that's as far as they made it.
They jammed a screwdriver into the ign. scratched the tank and the left muff but it's back home now, JEEEEEEEZ ?76 XS650 C ROADSTER

If it ain't one ?
Heavy tool box just took out my back, I'm a freakin vegetable. Got a call in to the doc for some kinda pain killer. WTF , won't be working on no bike or anything else for now.
Can you tell me what spring or springs I should order ?

Ouch....
A loose shifter doesn't really sound like springs to me but you haven't cracked open the cover yet and could be a while before you get a 'tuit -- the suspense is killing me!
If there are no loose nuts, screws or washers in the shifter assembly and the shift drum doesn't try to crawl out of the case to the left when you shift, make sure the dots are aligned on the two shift lever 'gear' teeth and the index marks are aligned on the shift drum and pawl when the transmission is in 2nd gear. If the shifter's just slipped or out of adjustment then you may not need any springs or parts.
DiverRay found a new return spring in Texas, there's another one in Georgia that's listed too:-
YAMAHA NEW 90508-29361 1989-1993 YZ490/WR500 Shift Shaft Spring OEM
I have some used pawl springs that are still good, the pawl doesn't need a lot of tension, gravity will mostly hold it in place but it's there so the pawl stays seated on the shift drum dowels when you're riding and shifting.-- Scott

I know, I know, close is not close enough

Judging from the way the shift lever travels much further than normal and is sloppy, something like the spring is broken, some part out of place, or just unscrewed ?76 XS650 C ROADSTER

90508-32263-00 is the $1.99 spring from your link and it'd be a hoot if it worked with just some tweaking to fit it and set the tension.
90508-29361-00 is the correct spring for ~$17 from Texas or ~$11 from Georgia.
I have a few of those used springs too, they were working when I pulled the engines.-- Scott
