No Neutral

[slammp]

Ok, lets hear from the more technically proficient than me:


Single sided swing arm with a reverse threaded big nut to hold the rear wheel on. Had to repack/check the rear bearings over the winter and that nut was STUCK. Anyway in getting it off i had spun the rear wheel 4-5 complete rotations while in gear with a breaker bar. Fast forward to yesterday when I took the bike out of my workshop and transferred it to my 1/2 garage to get ready to re-register it and ride and I cant get it to go into neutral. I rode it down my street in 1st and 2nd gear no problem and it sounds fine(no unusual noises). I can also shift between all gears standing still with the engine running but I cannot find neutral at all and I don't even see the green dash light flicker as I go by where I think it should be. It has been mentioned on an MV specific forum that I may have bent a shift fork/rod - and I plan on contacting Eastern Cycles in Beverly this morning, but am looking for any advice. I was hoping everything might re-position itself if I took it for an at speed ride up the highway, but also don't want to further damage anything.

Bleed the master.

7mm nut inside the clutch master open it a crack and watch for an air bubble.

I believe so.
Its hydraulic clutch related.

With the key on, but the motor not running, you should still be able to find neutral and see the N light flicker if it were a clutch problem. Doesn't sound like a clutch issue to me.

Next time use the rear brake instead of the transmission..

Yeah live and learn. Unfortunately my learning tends to be expensive...
