i've got a 1973 cb500 I just picked up, it's a good bike, runs strong, but there are a few transmission issues that i've kind not sure what to do about.
when idling a stop, or even with the engine off it's nearly impossible to get it into neutral, from first gear or second. if i use a lot of force to bring the shift lever up it gets stuck in the up position. while i'm riding it's fine and shifts pretty freely, but still with a little stick.
this has been happening before and after i changed the oil.
is there anything i can do, check, or replace that might indicate the cause of the problem or solve it altogether? is my transmission shot?
thanks!
