Gear Shift Rod bent - Gear Changing problem
Hi,
Recently on one wet evening I slipped on a turning with my SV650S K2; when I lifted the bike I had problem bringing bike into neutral, and I could not see what was wrong as it was pretty dark. Somehow it came in neutral, I gave a start it did start and I could slide in first gear and drove home. On inspecting the damage next day I saw that gear shift rod was badly bent! how I could not know, I was wondering can I straighten the rod or do I need to replace it?
Once the rod is OK will my gear changing problem (I only can get into 1st gear) be sorted or there could be more damage to gear box?
I will really appreciate some helpful suggestion to my above problems.
Thanks & Regards
