    Hello Guys,


    I have bought a Bonneville 2009 SE couple months ago and been a blast to ride. However, Yesterday while pulling ip into my drive I accidently veered into patch of mud and ended up dropping the bike on the left side where the clutch shifter is located. when I checked the clutch shifter, it would shift smoothly between 1st gear and Neutral but would not shift from Neutral into second gear whether the bike is running or cold. I waited a while for the transmission to warm up and shift into second gear; still it would not shift unless I pull the shifter up with my hand. I also slacked the cable a little but no results. the nearest Triumph dealership or even a decent motorcycle shop is an hour and a half from where I live. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks!

    Check you haven't bent the gear change lever or moved the position of it. On the worst side have you bent the gear spindle. Just check it all out and make sure the cable is free and un damaged. Clean it all up and let us all know how you get on. Welcome to the Family by the way. And when you get your pride back do drop us a picture of the steed.
    Regards
    Joe.
