The cable needs to be adjusted as well as the liit screws. Bring it to a local bike shop and have them give the bike a complete look over. Once one thing is malfunctioning then more issues are close behind.

1998 CR125. Why won't it hit 4th?

Chain adjusted correctly? (i know it sounds silly, but it did effect a Bike i had).
Was it the correct weight oil? Thicker oil means harder to change.
Personally, i prefer to listen>test ride to determine an issue.
Good Luck with it, i'd love to know how you get on.
In the meantime...YouTube/CrashTestDummyTV.
Cheers n 'Happy Trails'...soon 4u i hope.

2010 crf450r jumping outta gear from 5th to 4th all other gears work fine

Terrence >>>> 1. Do not go through the gears while idling on a stand!!!
The rear tire is not moving at the speed that is normal for 4th or 5th gear..AND if you do get the tire moving that fast.. it is BEYOND DANGEROUS!!
This sounds like the 4th and 5th gears may need replacing.. or the shift drum detent for 5th gear has somehow become ineffective.. If you continue to ride this bike , you may cause more trouble and damage to the transmission.

Take this to a qualified professional!!

Recently serviced and now gears locking during riding and very difficult to change? Was mostly 1st to 2nd but now occurring during travel - 4th to 5th?

If you just had the bike serviced, take it back to the tech that did the work. If you did the work your self, check the gear oil level on level ground with the bike in the vertical position (riding position). It sounds like the oil is low and this can cause the gears to not shift properly. I hope this helps.

I just received a sports bike for ecercise and model number is EDG 329u. Every time I try to ajust the peddal speed it makes a weird noise and It will not move the speed it stays the same speed. It is very...

You have the bike in a high gear. Assuming it is a deraleur type, look to see which sprocket the chain is riding on. If it is one of the smaller sprockets (on the rear wheel, not the pedals), put it onto a bigger sprocket by changing gears to one of the lower gears. As a side note, professional riders change gears many, many times during one outing. They keep the pedal speed at a comfortable speed no matter how fast or slow the bike is going. Anyhow, to review, put the bike into a low gear, particularly when starting out from a stop. If the bike makes a wierd clicking sound, or the gears don't change as they should, it is possible that your indexing in your gears needs some adjusting, or there is some other problem. Any bike shop will take care of you, as these are very easy to fix.

Instructions for using gears on 12 speed Mesa runner

Not familiar with the exact model of bike but normally you start riding in a low gear. As you wish to speed up or find it easy to push the pedals just change up in gear and keep pedaling and the gear chain will move to the next gear cog. The secret is to keep pedaling when you select a gear either up or down and the gear will change. Hope this is of benifit.

False neutral

There is pretty much a false neutral between every gear on an Enfield. You need to ease the gear up or down and do it by feel more than a hard up or down movement
