When its cold shift lever is hard to move once it warms up it shifts smooth

Hey Jerry,
No, you do not want a lighter spring.. it will cause the engine to start "falling" out of gear, or not staying in gear when you shift... hard shifting is usually a sign of something wrong.. possibly a bent shift shaft, or worn/bent shift forks.
If it is hard to shift, both up and down, in all gears, its more than likely a bent shift shaft..(the shaft the shift lever is bolted to and runs through the center cases to the right side and controls the shift cam.).. You will have to remove the shifter(lever) and the right side cover, the clutch assy, and maybe a couple other small items..IF you are NOT intimately familiar with this repair - Take it to a qualified professional!!!

sounds like linkage problem check linkage

you are going to have to adjust the linkage from shifter to tyran they all stretch over time had it happen many times on the Polaris.

Check to see if one of the shifter rods behind the side pannel are bent.this usually happens due to lack of lube end people try to force it into gear.

as soon as your bike begins to high idle it will not fall into gear you probably will need to set your linkage on your shifte

Sounds like shift forks.

The neutral lights is not going out until the atv goes into gear. Look over the shift levers and rods that puts the vehicle into gear. Take the shift linkage loose from the engine and see if moves by itself. If all the linkages move except when attached to the engine, then the linkages could be out of adjustment (if it has multiple linkages like 4 drive) or the engine has some internal issues like trans problems or other related to the shifting mechanisms.

Worn,displaced shifting lever link to gear box so it missplace the gears shifting.

Solution#1 worked perfectly. It only took about 15 minutes all together.
the side panel removes easily. It just slides out of the other panel. Once you have removed the handle (Shifter) and the other two bracket bolts, just place it back into the shifter housing and move it around. I was amazed at how easy this was to repair. I also turned the ignition to the on position to see if it was changing gears and it was.

I tried this today and it worked. Pull the sideplate from the ATV so that you have access to the gear shifter assembly. Unbolt the gearshift assembly from the mounting bracket. There are two bolts at the rear near the two rods that exit the assembly and three on the bottom. When the bolts are out, remove the assembly from the mounting bracket. Hold it in your hand and move the shift lever through all of the positions. This won't actually shift the transmission, but it should free up the rods in the assembly. Remount the assembly with the five bolts and it should now be able to shift out of reverse.
