Post dump shifter/trans issue.

[Guest]

Sooooo, I dumped my GS450 on some ice today and right away noticed that the shifter was bent. When I went to start the bike again the neutral light wouldn't come on and if I let the clutch out all the way in 1st it made a grinding sound and wanted to stall. In 2nd it stalled right away and in neutral it intermittently wanted to jump into gear. I haven't torn into it yet, I'm guessing I just bent something in the shift assembly but I was curious if anyone has had a similar experience or input.

Might have knocked things off on other side of shift shaft- best to remove clutch cover, clutch, etc. and go exploring.

Thanks Tom, I'm gonna tear into it this weekend and find some answers. I was actually gonna tear into this weekend anyway to replace the clutch springs so...win/win right?

That depends on what is wrong...
