Stuck in 1st gear????

[Sniper05]

Hey guys, was runnin some laps yesterday, on the last lap, comin outa the woods, I noticed it wouldn't shift anymore, I can't get neutral or anything? Won't shift to any other gears no matter what I do, The shifter moves, but won't do anything? What's your guys guess? I'm hopin it's the shaft or the star? Oh and it's the 04!

open up your clutch side cover and check to make sure the shift pawl is not messed up or slipping..
hopefully its something under the first cover under your clutch basket and not your shift drum or forks...
but I would definitely try the clutch side cover first to see if anything looks wrong...

but to be honest There is a good chance you will be splitting your cases

I hope not! But we'll see, I'm gonna pull the cover and give it a look here shortly! I'm scared lol
