XS400J Medic
Only my 2nd post and I'm looking for help. Be warned, it won't be the last time, I'm sure.
Anyway, I just bought my first cycle, a not-yet-running '82 XS400J Maxim that's in need of TLC. The issue involves the tranny. It seems to be stuck in neutral. The pedal moves up & down a bit, but no shifting is taking place. I adjusted the clutch screw-and-locknut under the rubber plug per the manual, and adjusted the cable at the lever but no luck. A PO apparently dumped it at a low speed, based on some grind marks on the clutch lever, left footpeg, and shift lever. Could that have done something to the shift lever shaft, or boogered something with the shifter forks? My question is what items are the most likely suspects to be jammed-up? Any help is greatly appreciated.
