Sorry Deefer - I haven't been clear. It won't go into second, but it also won't go past second or anywhere near third. I have first and neutral only.. ... i.e. there's something physically jamming it from going up into second. It simply doesn't budge - even with the engine off, rolling the bike back and forward a bit..... truly fubar.

How about replacing the engine? Bozboz isn't that far from you, and I think he's still considering selling his.

Ahhh I thought it was the jumping out of second, then yes by it probably needs stripping out. Still not a scary job

Hey Christo! Long time.
Yer - this seems the most viable option. Am watching a couple of engines on Ebay now.

However, without a car (I live in London) it's all going to be a bit of a nut-ache. If I could find a friendly van driver who wants to earn a few extra quid, but who won't strip my wallet bare, to take me to see Deefer, all would be well!
Thanks Deefer - I didn't really describer the problem first time very well. When I first turned up at the garage he said 'it's your selector spring' without even looking at the bike and I had to say 'no, it's fucking not'.
Will keep you posted as to what I do. I sat on the bus like a zombie this morning and it hurt my soul.

If you can't find someone with a van try Shiply. I got a classic car from Brands Hatch to North London for £60 with them. 8)

You serious? How much would you want to come and scoop it up? I'm happy to pay for the miles and of course your time. Once it's fixed I can come up on the train and ride it back.
You seem too good to be true mate!
