Or it could be as it was in my case the clutch basket was worn enough so that the friction plates weren't releasing and causing drag.I was hoping it's not that serious but reading other issues on here it certainly looks like it may be this il will have a fettle tomorrow and try it again but can't see it just going away there's defiantly an issue there despite previous owner denying any issue will keep you all posted ... Thanks so far
But the fact its happening from 2 to 3rd and that fact that its not selecting a gear at all means, could possibly you have either bent or very worn selector fork, or a very worn selector drum. and both of those are an engine split to fix. If its a broken return spring, I think Ive read there are outside the main crackcase and can be replaced easily enough. But who ever sold you the bike was CLEARLY fucking aware of the fault prior to selling it to you. I know this, because this has also happened to me.
Take the bike back to where ever or who ever you bought it from and demand in no uncertain terms a full refund, if they give you any lip state you will then include all costs incurred to date (travel to collect the bike, etc etc) to the refund price.
