Grouch Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Well I dropped the bike yesterday and now it will only go into first gear and neutral. It wont shift up. Im really pissed off. I'm hoping its just the clutch lever/wire that needs adjsuting? Any idea's guys? Thanks
bonzoid60 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I,m presuming from your post that you dropped the bike on its left hand side....is the gear lever bent? Any other external damage? More detailed info?....
Grouch Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Yes on the left hand side, the gear lever I don't know the cluctch lever is
wild foamy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 good chance the gear lever has aswell, if you go to change into second does the lever hit the bottom of the engine case?
Grouch Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 It won't change into second. I'll Have to have a proper look in the light tomorrow.
Tommy xs Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 can you you still pull the clutch lever in OK & does it return OK ?
blackhat250 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Awe grouch"o , that bonnie bike . . Yeh gear lever bent in, so will jam on upshift,,,bend it back out,,,
slice Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 As Blackhat say's bent gear lever but if you have to bend it out then replace it as well as the lever. Bad luck Groucho a shame to have bent your new bike but anything can be fixed. Put up some photos mate so we can see the damage and suggest how to fix it.
bippo Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 That's a shame Grouchy. Hope the cosmetic damage isn't too bad.
Grouch Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks guys. It was the lever that was bent. I have just gently bent it back into place for now and will be ordering a replacement as soon as.
