My scoot is jumping out of gear quite regularly and its proving to be a right pain. Tends to do it more when im giving it some and happens between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th. Im thinking its the gear selector being worn or perhaps the spring?
Anyone have any suggestions before I open her up, also best place to get a good gear selector if thats the culprit.

I had problems with gear jumping, thought same as you regarding the corse.
someone suggested changing the cables as a starting point ( and cheapest) as one might be frayed or snagging.
My gear selecting is now spot on ;)
worth a try for a few quid!

I had the same happening to me- tried to suss out which way it was popping (up or down) then tightened one cable up. Seems fine now

What make of Lammy? On some Serveta's the gear rod (from gear arm to inside case), the teeth are off and it'll always jump gear. Swop with Italian.
That's not going anywhere...
