A friend has a 1985 GL1200 that is stuck in second gear. We were out driving and he was downshifting coming to a rest area and the lever got stuck in second gear. Made no noises at all when this happened. Has anyone else had this problem and how hard to fix? He checked at a dealer and they said that they could not look at it for 2 weeks and the motor would have to be pulled to find the problem. To me it looks like the front cover can be pulled with the motor in frame. I will try to help him as long as it doesn't get too involved. Any help would be appreciated.
