    Well, huh... I just might be a dumb-ass.

    I just found this thread. I'll be buying a shirt or two through your website within a few days. And while I don't normally do anything with the bike you're talking about building, I'll be happy to kick in any parts that I have that might work.

    I need to go out and look at the bike and not rely on my admittidly faulty memory... I assume you have to drain the oil before pulling the right side cover?

    So is the selector under the left side engine cover that covers the wheel where the timing marks are? I assume its close to the shift lever.

    Jooh-Yah, thanks for the info! I haven't had time to mess with anything yet so I will definitely try that first. That would be sweet if thats all it is.

    So is there a list or line I need to get in to have it passed on to me at some point?

    Awww crap, Maritime. I was afraid someone was going to tell me that, lol. But thanks for the info. Yeah, I did try rocking it and shifting it without it running and without using the clutch. It still wouldn't go into 1st or shift higher than 4th. But I will try it again just to be extra sure...

    Well, I tried moving the shifter into different positions, made sure it wasn't hitting everything, and tried calling it every cuss word I know and none of that seemed to work. So I'm think I'm going to try pulling the clutch and making sure its put back in correctly. I don't remember if I said...

    Ok cool. I will try that tonight. Thanks for the all the information! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to do much searching and reading on here yet, so I appreciate the advice.

    Maritime, thanks for the info. I had to remove the shift arm when I took the side cover off to check the timing. I just put it back on where it looked right and didn't even think about how that might have an effect on the shifting, so I may need to move it a spline or two. If that doesn't do...

    Alright, here's the good and the bad. First the good... I took it for a ride around the neighborhood. Started right up and the engine ran well. No problems revving all the way up to red line. Granted I didn't get over about 40 but I was just happy to be able to ride it. Josh, somebody (I think...
