GS750 won't go into 2nd gear.

Hey guys, just finished installing a Yoshimura stage 2 topend on my gs750. I went to go break it in and found that I was unable to get the bike in 2nd gear or any other gear beyond 1st and neutral. I've messed around with the clutch to see if that is the issue and the problem persists. None of this makes sense because the engine shifted beautifully prior to putting the new topend on it. Would anyone be able to offer some advice?

Thanks
 
I think you are exactly right! I remember when I had the clutch cover off the shift rod and return spring moved out of position and I may have put it back incorrectly. Thanks a ton I'll open it up.

Can I open the clutch cover with the bike on the sidestand and not worry about oil leaking out?
Or does the oil need to be drained?
 
Good pic of the pawl area. Yes, drain the oil before opening the clutch cover. I replaced the gasket too after I fixed my pawl issue.

Okay thanks guys! Will do. I'll report back with my findings
 
Stupid question perhaps - are you trying to shift gears with the bike running / moving? If the bike is not running and is stationary then they generally wont want to shift up.
 
Also, have you had the sprocket cover off recently? Sometimes it doesn't go on absolutely straight and can bind to the shift rod. if so, loosen the cover a little.
 
You do not need to drain the oil to remove the clutch cover. Put the bike on the side stand and put a pan under the clutch cover. If a little comes out it's no big deal. Just top the oil off when done. Dar

Interesting...if I ever need to open the clutch cover, I'll have to remember that.

Run the front tyre up on a 2" thick slab of wood or a paver and put the bike down on the sidestand. This will give you a bit more tilt and no oil will be sacrificed. Let it sit for an hour or so like this before you start work so all the oil drains back into the sump (grab a coffee).
 
All fantastic info guys thanks! I did just put in a new sprocket so I'll check that out first aswell. In regards to the oil, I figured I might be able to get away with it as I have on my seca 550 in the past.
 
Problem solved folks! Removed the clutch cover and sure enough the shifting paw was out of alignment. Also I can confirm that no oil leaks out when the bike is on the side stand. Thanks everyone!
