She sat in a shed for 4 years so shes in a bit of a bad way.
52,000 miles.
Anyways, after I spent all weekend on the carbs, ignition I finallly got her running nicely.
I took her on a test ride after changing all the fluids just to see what was what,
First things first, she would not go into first...at all, when in neutral hitting down just simply didn't do anything.
Pulling up presumably got her into second and away she pulled lovely!.
got her up to 30 and slowed back down.
Went to put her in neutral and she jumped down to 'first'! Great I thought!
So i tried to pull off in 'first' and she stalled, I then pre-loaded the revs to 8k and very slowly released the clutch, she dropped down to 2k revs and very very slowly pulled away.....like she was in fourth gear or something.
Anyways, I then noticed a leak coming from my expansion bottle and took her inside to sort it out.
once inside she will not for love nor money go into neutral or back down to first (from second).
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?, tomorrow i am going to check the clutch tolerances and adjust it properly as the bite is practically at the handlebar which could affect the gears.
Is it worth stripping the transmission and having a look around? I hear ZXR gearboxes are indestructible right?
