|  Clutch or transmission problem?
Hi Yesterday, after riding my 02 Suzuki VL 800 about 60 miles, I stopped by the local elementry school parking lot to practice U turns, stops, etc, a lot of friction zone work. Everything was going good, the bike was doing like it always has, no slipping from the clutch or transmission. After about 10 minutes of practice, I get out of the clutch coming out of a U turn, and nothing in first. Nothing in second. Nothing in any of the gears. The bike will go into gear from neutral, but it just rolls in each gear. Even though it will go into gear, it won't engage a gear. It has 5300 miles on it. I trailered it home, and adjusted the clutch. I drove it to the end of my driveway 100 feet (slipping along the way) and then I lose all my gears. The engine oil has about 2000 miles on it and smelled burnt. I changed the oil, but still can't engage any gears. Any ideas if it's the clutch or the transmission, and if it's the clutch, how much of a pain is it for a not so talented do it yourselfer. |
