Monday I drove it back from the auction site in Olympia WA to my garage in Seattle. This is an ex police motorcycle with 64,000 miles. Fluids are clean, bike seems well maintained, but ridden hard. I got to Tacoma before I downshifted from 5th to third during traffic slowdown, and it got stuck in I think 2nd and I couldn't get it out of 2nd. I towed it back to Seattle, where I got it into neutral, lubed the shifter linkage, and drove it around. Shifting from 3rd to 4th it got stuck in 1st or 2nd. I can't get it out of gear. I know the clutch works, because I can still drive it. Clutch feels good. No obvious leaks anywhere. Gear shifter arm has a little bit of play in it, but I believe this is normal. I see no information in this forum about swapping transmissions, either junkyard or new. That leads me to think that my problem might be other than transmission, but I'm not seeing how it can be. One clue that it might actually be the clutch: I put the bike up on the center stand while it was stuck in gear, and started it. When the clutch was squeezed fully I could stop the back wheel from spinning with my hand, but it would not stop on it's own. If this is normal for this motorcycle, then I'm thinking the clutch is probably ok and it's the transmission. When I squeeze the clutch and depress the shifter, I hear a solid click. Then when I squeeze the clutch and pull up on the shifter, I faintly feel a movement, but no solid click. After this I can then depress the shifter and feel the solid click. No other positions are available. Thanks for reading this post, James Barnett
