1st gear nightmare
 

Finally nearly finished rebuilding my bike after being knocked off. Have just re-built the gear pedal/lever,sat on clicked through the gears from neutral and down again only it wont go down past neutral into first?????

Not a clue why?? :oops:

Anybody had experience with this or know of a remedy, the concept of starting off in second all the time is not appealing at all.

Thanks.

Have you tried holding the lever down - to go into first, and slowly letting out the clutch? You should hear a "click", and feel the bike slip into first gear.

Assuming your engine is running.

Or have you done what I did one and put the rod and linkage on upside down... you sure you've gone up five...???

:oops: :oops: done it, rod upside down and engine not running!

SHE's ALIVE, just gotta sort the MOT and tax :x

Hopefully soon i'll be down soho to put faces to all the names :wink:

:riding:

Well done, hopefully see you there soon :thumbsup:
