so she is running sweet but and its a very large but

clicked her into first (has been fine when clicking first and neutral) but the gear has got stuck in first.

before i tear her down to sort it out any suggestions ?

really gutted but trying to remain positive.  :(

Bryanj:
Probably one of the springs on the change mechanism hidden behind the clutch or if the pedal is floppy the pedal return spring

captaindonutbikes:
completely stuck in first no floppyness

florence:
I'd try rocking it back an forth with the engine switched off first and see if you can get it to come out.  Next step, take off the cover which goes over the clutch.  At least you can do this with the engine in the frame.  My 350 (same selector and clutch) got stuck in top once and I had to ride it home like that.  When I took the cover off I found that the selector bolt had become loose.  Put it back together and fine thereafter.

If I remember rightly, should you need to split the crankcases, it can be done leaving all the top end, i.e barrels, cylinder head, cam etc in place.
