Well I've been using my bike more and more, a good 60 miles a day, and I'm pretty sure its not helping any... it pretty much happens every time I stop, sometimes I can rev the engine up really high when in neutral then it will go into first, but when I take off it slips back to neutral. I pretty much have to start from second now. I have another 400 laying around for parts, has double the mileage, so I hope its first gear is still intact, I would like to try and get into the transmission on that one first to see if I can do it, and if its good, replace it with my current bike. If I can do it without messing something up badly, I would really like to do a write up on rebuilding the transmission.

I can downshift into first if I'm going fast enough, but once I hit a certain low speed, it won't go. Ill try that thing with the clutch today to see if it works for me.
