Dealer finally got out here today to pick my ninja up. The guy who was loading it onto the trailer remarked it’s definitely not the clutch, but probably what Munch said. This makes sense, since it seems somehow sixth gear is engaged in neutral now and when I try to shift into first or second, it’s not moving because in those cases both sixth and first/second are engaged. He remarked it’s most likely something with the engagement dogs or shift forks, and if this were the case it should be covered under warranty. Of course the guy isn’t in the service dept so I’ll wait to see what their verdict is on it tomorrow.
I’m gonna be joining AMA since they have 5 free tows a year (within 35 miles). I find it annoying that AAA/state farm both seem to think all motorcyclists have instant access to an extra pickup truck in case somethin goes wrong with their bike. (aka they don’t cover motorcycles in their roadside assistance) If I’d had the coverage I coulda had it towed last weds instead of waiting a week and fighting with the dealer to drive the 30 miles to my place and pick it up.
Hopefully I’m back up and runnin by the weekend if all goes well. Luckily the metro train runs close to my place and the dealer so I can just take that over to get the bike when it’s done.
