left hand clutch lever to clutch is failing.
gear box dry.
gear selector damaged.
buy it like this or out of the blue it happens now.
if clutch is bad one can jiggle any bike in to any gear. ,key off.
jiggle means move bike forward an back a tiny bit. and it shifts./
check and test the clutch first.
the clutch must work first or all key on tests can be super dangerous.
google how to test any motorcycle clutch.
end to end. test. hand lever to clutch actual.
Sounds like the transmission is gone .Check the fluid level ,and sometimes the filters inside the transmission gets clogged up.have it checked by a qualified transmission mechanic.
Sounds like your linkage slipped out of sequence. On your transmission there is a place where you can manually shift your tansmission through the gears. When you move the selector on the trani it should move the shifter as well. All the way up on selector should be park, then R,N,D so on. If you move the selector all the way up at your shifter reads something else, you need to adjust the linkage and put car in park with selector on trani in park and tighten linkage back up. Run through all the gears and you should be good.
Isnt this an automatic trans? Does it have a shifter by your foot,or at your hands? If its at your hands,then it could be that its just idling too high,and needs to be lowered. If it isnt auto,and has a clutch lever,try adjusting the clutch at the lever.
The selection lever leading into the transmission is stuck in between the gear selector shafts. Pull the engine, disconnect the shift rod shaft under the back seat, take the big bolts holding the transmission to the frame out, slide the transmission forward, unbolt the transmission housing. From there push the housing back to expose the shift levers & selector fork. Align the fork back into the levers so it is freely operating. Bolt the housing back up. Now put it back together. Its about a 2 hour job. Good luck.
Check for wear in the gear lever selector/gate mechanism.
It may have allowed the lever to select reverse, the 'jump' the lockout gate back to neutral position for selection of forward gears.
You may be able to de-select reverse if you access the lever directly at the gearbox case.
I assume it's a manual transmission.
If the car will not roll backward or forward in neutral (with or without the clutch engaged) the transmission is most likely locked in two gears at the same time.
This may happen if gear selectors are excessively worn. If you are able to examine the gear selection levers external to the gearbox, ensure they are in the 'neutral' (no gear selected) position when the gear lever is in Neutral. If not in correct position, you may be able to manually reset the levers to correct neutral position and thereby unlock the gearbox.
In any case, if it's happened once, it will happen again, so get the gearbox and gear selection mechanism checked for wear or breakage.
