Hey again Jason,
I was thinking after I posted my previous post, about 2nd gear locking up. And then you provided the clue, a broken shift fork! Yep, that could do it, because it could allow another gear to slide/mesh into position WITHOUT removing/disengaging the previously engaged gear, and viola, a locked up tranny!
The shift forks and gears that are involved in the 1st and 2nd gear fixes are all easily accessible and are on the countershaft, no case splitting required!
Andreas Weiss may have some of the spare parts you would need for this repair, shift forks, extra gears, etc., so you wouldn't necessarily need to spend $$$ on NEW parts! Glad to hear you've got an experienced mechanic to do/help with this job. Would highly suggest that he read and review the tech tips on the basic maintanence stuff, like the cam chain tensioner adjustment procedure and such. IF done wrong, can lead to severe damage to the valves and such!!!
Remember, the engine spins backwards, clockwise when viewed from the LEFT side of the bike!!!
While you're in there, you'll need to remove the clutch assembly to do it, so a good inspection of the frictions for specs....max 3.00mm min 2.80mm thickness, replace if below that, plus clean up the steels, and put in NEW SPRINGS, they get sprung easily from years of sitting there being compressed, etc.!!!
T.C.
