Hello, i just bought a 1990 ZXR400 H2

. However its stuck in gear, the guy i bought it off said he noticed it was leaking oil and turned it off straight away and now its stuck in 2nd gear! Any idea on what the prob is, or how to fix it?

does the engine turn over? sounds like the selector forks may have worn away.

does the selector shaft move? or is that solid too

Take the clutch out behind it there is a screw with a plate and a key hole that holds the selector fork in place. What happend to me is the bike was stuck in 5th gear... All you need to do is put the plate in possition again and tighten the bolt.. Use some locktite...

i hope thats the fault, i bought a whole new set of gears just in case they have crunched up cause they were going cheap (38 quid deliverd off a write off ). but the easier fixed the better.
