Shifter Locked Up, Transmission Problems?

That is a great pic BTW Steve. I might add that the clutch plates look great, I will try to put a mic on them while they are off the bike. I ordered new springs from Boulevard and they should be on the way, they are a bit behind.

What is the best way to keep the clutch basket from turning while I take off the nut?

(don't take this the wrong way) You need a clutch basket holder wrench. They make a special tool that holds the basket without breaking anything.
 
No offense taken. I think I have just the thing actually. I have a tool with a mesh band that may hold it. There are times I need a Clymers, I need to get one. The shop manual just is not enough.
 
Can someone verify the size of the bolt on the clutch basket? It measures out to about 31 - 32 mm. I don't have a socket that big and will go get one but really didn't want to buy a whole range of them Thanks again.
 
Just to update guys, I did pull the basket and that piece was pushed out and the gears did not match up. Pulled the shaft out a bit and it slid right in. Easy Peasy once you get a big metric socket. $20, goodness. I have one now.

The whole process was a good learning experience as I had not taken a clutch apart before (never had to) and got a look at all of the parts and bearings. When Boulevard gets going and send me the springs I'll put it back together and go onto the next problem. I didn't take a pic of where all the tubing from the carb nozzles go, so that is next.

Thanks a lot for the lesson.
 
Hi guys, I've had the exact same problem, pull the engine replaced again and the shifter was stuck in neutral...
But being the dufus I am I was giving a fair amount of force on the shifter :twistedevil:
After reading this I removed the cover and put spring in the correct position, now it changes gear fine but the pedal doesn't return to the centre, I have too give it a little tap up or down to change again.
I'm guessing I've bent the spring, is it a easy fix or have i done more damage?
Thanks in advance Luke

You would have noticed the spring when you reentered it. My guess is that you have slightly bent the shift shaft when you removed the motor .Also probably what caused the shift pawl to get misaligned in the first place. If you pull the clutch cover and do the same thing you already have except take the shift lever off the opposite side and remove the snap ring , then slide the shaft out to check for straightness, then either straighten it or replace it.
