Can anyone give me some ideas? I had a crash in 2008 and basically wiped the bike out, I have had the wheels frame and yoke lazer lined sourced a new tank, clocks, break lever, mirrors, complete front end and every piece of plastic on the bike. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and summers coming but now I have fitted everything I have found that I have no 2nd to 6th gears when I was doing the rebuild I got the wiring sorted, started it and selected 1st then assumed the running gear was ok. Can anyone suggest a quick easy fix that doesn't end up with me breaking the whole bike down again and taking me to summer 2012 to sort it?

Sorry to hear you've had a mega load of work to get it up and running and now this problem............ your post interested me because I was running my bike through the winter and one day my gears did the exact same thing. I stripped the heel rest and gear selector from the bike and degreased and cleaned it several times, then wd-40'd it several times and touch wood.......it worked, I slowely got all the gears back. I was told it could've been a bent selector fork or grit jammed in the nooks and cranny's. I hope it is just something simple like dirt and grit. Cheers, Ryan. |

Cheers Belzy for the quick reply I have had the shifter off and tried the position on the spline in a few places as it seemed like i was on the brink of selecting a gear but running out of upward travel then it falls back into neutral. |

How easy is it to strip the gears and how easy would it be to identify a fault? Basically I have a engineering background but nothing to do with bikes I have done all this work now and would like to see it to the end myself and try to save a fortune along the way. Any help / advice / drawings would be much appreciated. Cheers Ray |

Hi, Belzy's suggestion's the only one I've heard of that doesn't require a strip. Have you cleaned the rose joints thoroughly ? (I mean really blast them with wd40 for quite a long time.) |

 Sorted thanks for the advice lads cleaned linkage again still no joy so went to my dealer to see if I could pick up a workshop manual so I could break down the transmission luckily there workshop was empty so there guys gave me the heads up on a p7f transmission and also informed me you cant get a workshop manual yet. So I was lucky enough to download a manual and more lucky to have found out that the only thing wrong with my transmission was me, turns out that due to some triple bearing system the drive train, output shaft etc needs to be moving and being stationary wont engage anything but 1st also the revs needed to be a bit more agressive (this is the me part) since I had the off I may have forgot how to ride the thing after all. Thanks for the input!
