Bike won't shift to second or higher
So I did a lot of work on this 2006 CBR 60 F4i I recently bought (New chain, 502 conversion, wheel bearings, power commander V, spark plugs, ASV adjustable levers).
After getting everything working I went for a ride and noticed the bike wasn't going in to second gear and was really jerky on the throttle so pulled over, on a hill curving right no less..dropped the bike on the right side losing my footing which was embarrassing.
Anyways, I figured it was the +2/+1 conversion that I wasn't use to or maybe the lever.
Here are my thoughts so far...
- Shifting to first did seem a little rough, louder pop in to gear than I am used to, could be a symptom...
- I had the bike on the stand and noticed the bike doesn't go in any gear either, which I feel is by design, but it feels the same way as it does when trying tod go in to second or higher.
- I am in the process of doing an oil change and charging the battery as it was about to die.
- I read that having the chain too tight can cause the bike to shift rough, but never heard of it not shifting in to gear.
Any thoughts?
