So this is my first bike. So I have no mechanical experience.
I have an 81 xs400. It all started going down the freeway and I noticed I couldn't get up to speed like normal. So I took the next exit and I could down shift and shift back up fine. Then all of a sudden started making a weird knocking noise and none of my gears seemed to engage and I lost all power, but the engine was still on every gear acted like neutral. Any help would be much appreciated, I cant tell if my transmission blew or maybe the clutch isn't catching any of the gears. Surfed the site a bit but couldn't find my exact problem. Has anyone else had this problem?
