Not sure Trigger I will have a look I never had these apart.
Went to look at a Kawasaki Z1000 (from memory) that a friend's friend had difficulty with as it would only select first gear.

Zed forums are full of people, over the years, who can only get first after a rebuild, as you say its a safety feature, to only let you get first or neutral when stationary. Why that makes it safer, I don't know. Some pull the engine apart again, only to get the same result of course. I can't say I'm a fan, I wanted to check my Z1A gearbox worked OK before I put the engine in, not wait until I was on the road again. When I rebuilt my CB750 K1, I remember being paranoid about whether top gear was in the right way round, and deeply regretting not keeping the cluster together, as I was damned if I could tell which way round it went, although I knew it mattered. I must have guessed right as it worked fine, but I did worry.
Johnny4428, was that circlip installed like that with the tang sticking out ?
