Good morning! Been while since riding the XS, put it away last fall running after I had what I thought was a float issue. Turns out, had a bad petcock which drained my gas tank into the case. This spring got all new fresh oils, replaced petcocks, etc. Have had the bike running, just not out for a ride.
My issue is, went to take the bike for ride this morning, when kick starting it, there was nothing there. The kick start lever just rotated. Thought it was weird, hit the starter button and the bike fired up and idled. Then I got ready for the ride, pulled clutch and put the bike in gear and it didn't want to go at all, engine rev some and didn't feel like it was in gear. So stopped it, jumped on another and here I am at work asking the question. Is there two separate issues, something specific to the kick start lever and then clutch adjustment that is out? Or are these both related (more serious gear box issue)?
Thanks.
