Alright, so I'm not really certain what the problem here is, but before I take everything apart, I thought I'd get some more learned opinions.
Bike starts and runs just fine. Compression is a little low in one barrel, but probably nothing a little tune-up wouldn't fix. After letting the bike run for a bit, I get on and try to start off. Nothing. I shift into first and the bike barely moves. I noticed that I wasn't getting the expected 'klunk' when shifting into first. After a few movements into and out of neutral, I did hear the 'klunk' when shifting into first, but I still didn't get any power to the wheel.
I tried to shift up to some of the upper gears and I couldn't feel any of the gears. It felt like it would just stop right after neutral. This is what led me to believe the problem was in the lower end.
What would your troubleshooting steps be? Is it possible that I'm just imagining the clutch/transmission stuff and the problem is something like valves out of adjustment, timings off, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
