Re: Help! GS1000E gets stuck in first. Please HELP!
Most likely, overfilled with oil. Oil level is supposed to be aproximately in the middle of the sight glass with the bike on the centerstand on level ground.

okay. so I should drain it back down to approx. half?
I'll do that asap. Why exactly would that make it shift so hard?Comment

More details would be needed for a better diagnosis but dont overlook a clutch that needs adjustment. When the engine is running and the bike is in neutral does it really crunch when you put it isn first? Does it come out of first into neutral ok when the engine is not running and you rock the bike forward and back? Dragging clutch. Go for the simple solutions first.Comment

yes, when in nuetral, just starting the bike it "crunches" into first. It shifts into second okay and then back to first, but then it wont go back to nuetral or anyother gear after that. I have to shut off the bike and restart to get it to shift again.
This is very confusing to me, and any help would be greatly appreciated.Comment

It really really sounds like your clutch is out of adjustment. It is not doing enough to disconnect the engine from the transmission because you cant pull the lever far enough. You can adjust it at the engine end of the cable and even at the lever end. You are going to take up some slack in the mechanism. do you have a book?Comment

no, I don't have the service manual. I have found a site that has it, but the weblink isn't working properly.Comment
