Hi, this could be as a result of mall adjustment, or simply clutch plates stuck together as a result of the machine standing, normaly running the machine and using the clutch is enough to cure this,otherwise you may havee to remove the clutch plates and check for worn or distorted plates, it may also be that the clutch basket is worn not alowing the full release of the plates, check for exsess ware in the form of groves cut by the plates in the outer and inner basket.

My bike wont shift into first gear

with engine not running rock the bike to and thro whilst trying to engage gear. If it still won't go it's the selector. If it does but will not engage when running it is you clutch so you will need to try any adjustments or change plates.

Won't go into gear without engine running, starter just spins without catching.

The starter clutch needs to be replaced. An alternator sgop will usually rebuild these for 1/2 of a new one. Rebu .A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you. go-into-gear-without-engine-running-4d5i0utctl2htkxwobhufr12-1-0.jpg

Clutch is not engaging when bike is in gear , engine try's to turn over when i push it

If the clutch is not engaging you may need to adjust it or it may be deflective. If the clutch is holding enough to cause the engine to rotate when you push the bike in gear it may still not be able to hold when the engine is running.

Clutch not engaging? If you have the bike in gear and engine not running...release the clutch you can still roll the bike? Can you feel proper tension on the clutch lever?

Do i need to be in gear to adjust clutch

In the past when I adjusted the clutch on my Virago, I would have the bike in gear...with engine off, make sure pulling in the clutch allows the bike to roll..... Then with the engine running I would adjust for the point at which the clutch would begin to engage upon release. Make sure when released, the clutch is fully engaged and isn't slipping.

The tranny on my 883xl will shift through the gears but it won't engage. It will go into neutral. I don't have to engage the clutch to get it to shift through but even with the clutch it wont...

Sounds like your final drive belt is broke. Put the transmission in low gear with the engine off and try pushing the bike. If you can push the bike with the transmission in gear and the belt is not broke, it could be the front belt pulley is stripped in splined area where it goes on the countershaft. to check that take the rear master cylinder loose and remove the front pulley cover. Put the transmission in low gear with the engine off and push the bike. If the front pulley turns and the countershaft does not, the pulley is stripped.

Good Luck

I bought a 2003 R6 from this guy who said the chain broke on him. The bike only in neutral and first gear. i cant hift up from one to two or neutral to two. Plus I dont the clutch is engaging at all. once...

personally I have never heard of a chain breaking and having any affect on the transmission and shifting. although if the chain broke and caught the shifter, it may have pulled the shifter so hard that it could have bent the shifting forks inside the transmission.. this would explain most of your problems..replace the chain,and with the bike "off" and in neutral, on level ground, rock it back and fourth about 6 inches and try shifting from neutral to 1st and then back up to neutral, and then to 2nd. keep rocking the bike back and fourth while doing this and do this WITHOUT using the clutch. If it wont go to the gears easily, the shift forks are likely bent. there is a safety switch for the kickstand that will shut the bike down if the kickstand is down and bike is in gear. if the kickstand is up and releasing the clutch shuts down the bike, the chain may have damaged that as well. Hope this helps..

With the bike in gear and the clutch engage, the

Clutch discs are stuck, put the bike in gear, not running, pull in the clutch and push the bike back and forth to break the clutches loose. Once they break loose start the engine put the bike in gear, hold the front brake, and slip the clutch a little to remove any built up or stuck crud on the plates.
