you mean it won't go into gear? If so just try pushing harder.

Re: problem with k5 sv650 PLEASE HELP
OK just to confirm it wont or is difficult get into gear ? If so dont stamp it down, you shouldnt be forcing it into gear, you may well do damage.
Some things to try 1. Clean, lube and adjust your chain, the SV is sensitive to chain tension and a slack or to tight chain may result in the symptoms you describe. 2. Check the oil level in sight glass, I had similar problems when I over filled it with oil. 3. Remove and clean the pivot on the gear lever ( do a search about this theres a really good post by Sid Squid that describes what to do ) 4. Failing that you may also want to check your clutch is adjusted properly. Again search for how to do this as I cant remember the exact process. HTH
