Okie dokie.. the main reason I joined this site was to try and figure out why I cannot shift out of neutral on my 79 gs750.. I bought it like this and the P/O says he was downshifting from 2nd to 1st to pull into his driveway when it slipped to neutral and would not shift anymore. -hense the low low price of 150 I bought it for- Now.. I was fiddling around with the shifter and noticed.. when I tried to shift it.. the kick start got stuck... like I was going to break it... so I had to turn the bike over to get it back into the proper neutral.. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

The shift shaft goes through the engine into the clutch area, which is also where you'll find some of the kickstarter mechanism. So pull off the clutch cover and have a look in there to start with. -
Tried to pull the cover off only to find rounded off screw heads... but after a little more fiddling.. I was using the kickstarter to turn the engine over and shifted the motor as i did so.. and it shifted pretty good.. only go caught up shifting back into neutral. I will be trying to get the screws off when its not raining and try to find replacmentsOriginally posted by eil View PostComment

The left side cover can bind with the gear change rod. Loosen that side as well just to see as the rounded heads indicate ham-fisted tightening by a PO.-Mal

Well I feel like a dummy... I was taking the chain and carbs off today and noticed some slack in the clutch cable... tightened it up and now it shifts properly.. Thank you all for your help!Comment
