Thanks James, It looks as though the left hand engine cover is coming off today so I can see if it is the spring and or the the fork selector on the left of the case causing the issue. Wish me luck, Ciao, Eric There is a coil spring around the shift mechanism that can break or loose it's tension over the years that can cause this. It keeps the two levers that rotate the drum in contact.

The angle of the shifter was past the 1st position and almost fowling the kick stand when retracted. The bike ran fine in 2nd and I made it home but now I am faced with a stuck shifter. Any one care to point me in a good diagnostic position as far as were to look or what to try to fix this particular issue.
