[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1460437, member: 19880"] With the bike on the centerstand, remove the shift linkage from the shift arm. With a helper to turn the rear wheel, pull clutch with one hand and try to make the shift. (Need some forward pressure on the wheel to snick into gear reliably. This may tell you if a bent, or badly adjusted shift linkage is the problem. Take the opportunity to grease the pivots while you're at it. Possible that a return spring is broken so lever doesn't ratchet back to middle for the next shift. Good luck. (Don't need to mark the spline. A punch mark that is on the end of the shaft lines up with the split in the arm) [/QUOTE]
