so the motor is back in the frame and the electrical is connected. so i wanted to see if the gear indicator was still working and i couldn't get it into first gear. so my guess is the motor has to come back out and the bottom has to get popped back off. what should i look at if that has to happen? or am i over reacting? i did pull the clutch cover and clutch assembly to see what's possibly going on. could i pop the pan to see what's going on there?

Chances are your issue is totally different from mine, but last night I was unable to get the bike to shift into 3rd or higher gears, just first and second. I spun the crank a bit and it went back to working normally (that is, 1-5 gears. I haven't been able to shift into 6th since I got the bike). -

You should always check for gear shifting before putting the cases back together. I usually pour oil all over the shift drum and forks as well as the gears to help it shift, sometimes lack of oil on those parts keep it from shifting.Comment

Maybe the shift shaft teeth are misaligned.
Any pictures of the orientation of the shaft behind the clutch hub, since the clutch is out?GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment
