stuck in first

<< < (3/3)

florence:
It can be hard to get all the gears to engage without the engine running, gears need to turn in order to align with the selector dogs.

Being a luddite, I blame electric starts.  If you had kicked it over to start it you would have been alerted to the problem earlier.  :)

Thank heavens it didn't go bang.

captaindonutbikes:
so you think run it to get the gears in ? can't get first at the moment and i think it may we be a selector problem ?

Bryanj:
spin the clutch shaft and the wheel at the sametime as moving selector drum to try and get gears, with all that fell off there may be selector/gear damage

I've had the bottom crankcase off the engine on one of my 550s in the past, without having to remove the top end. It does seem a shame to have to remove the engine for this but it may well be the only way to be able to sort out the gear selectors.
