help???

 

2003 954rr

 

The first thing I would do is rock the bike back and forth while pulling up and down on the lever. It may release.

 

+1 and just curious, how did you get it home when it happened?

 

Have you had problems shifting before? Sometimes a "lazy" shift will go into a false neutral. But usually a firm up or down will get it back in gear. It is possible the shift fork bit it ... but 5th to 6th is a relatively easy shift. Usually it's 1st to 2nd that goes bad.

If you have it home and it's still stuck, get the back end up on a stand and rock the wheel back and forth while trying to shift up or down (preferably down). An assistant is helpful but not required. Bike should be OFF when attempting this.

The bad news is the 954 does not have a cartridge tranny which means you gotta split cases to get to internals. Hopefully a firm nudge will get it unstuck.

 

yea i wuz stuck on the hwy for a couple of hours trying to get it too release...but finally found someone with a truck to come take it home for me.....i tried rockin it back and forth but still stuck.....and bike only cranks up with the kickstand up and me holding the clutch lever down....weird.....

 

its definately not wierd. the bike is stuck in gear there is a safety switch that shuts the bike of to keep you from riding away and eating chit when u try taking a left out of the parking lot while ur kickstand is down...

were you able to get the bike onto a stand? if you can you could try to start it with the back tire in the air and maybe some fiddling could work it loose
