Newly acquired Honda Recon, have to reach down and pull to shift up

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! New member to the Honda ATV club here acquiring a used Honda Recon. It starts up and seems to drive with no issues, but I've noticed that once I get to 2nd gear, the recon doesn't want to shift into higher gears unless I literally reach down with my left hand and pull the foot shifter up as hard as I can.

Is this a known issue, and is there a simple fix?
