[QUOTE="phsDommie, post: 144576, member: 3618"] Thank you all for your suggestions a) I took the clutch apart - all was very clean and dry (no oil oozing into the clutch) and all spindles are fine. I measured the clutch springs and they match up well. I adjusted the clutch cable as per the handbook instructions. With wheel off the ground and engine running, the rear wheel rolls to a stop when in gear and clutch (handlebar) lever pulled in. b) Took the outer gearbox cover off - again. Minimal adjustment made to position of G61as per Richardson's book. Adjusted, slightly, the cam (G57) to allow more room by G49 for upward movement of the lever. Found there was a washer under the bolt head (right hand 327) which [B][I]might have [/I][/B]interfered with upshift and removed it. c) Return springs (G64, G70 and G71) had been replaced with new ones a couple of hundred miles ago and all looked to be in great condition d) The battery carrier tray is a nice sliding fit with the two slim nuts up against G50. I don't know if that is enough. e) I drained the gearbox of oil - beautifully clean without evidence of metal fragments, so replaced it via a filter After all above, I replaced the cover, kickstarter lever, gear selector lever, G81 and readjusted the clutch. I can select all gears, up and down while the engine is off. Started her up and it appeared as if I'd done nothing - same refusal of the selector lever (G78) to even budge in upward direction! I'm flummoxed, especially since all worked beautifully a couple of months ago. [/QUOTE]
