    Bent or broken shifter detent spring pin under the stator cover OR a bent shift shaft. Easy to replace.

    I bought a machine like this... and here is half of what I found, the other half was the primary clutch worn out, and the part I didn't find is the shift lever still won't return to center, but manually returning it, it works fine (pin is good in my case). Guessing bent shaft. Anyway photo fun .

    YOU STOLE IT!

    Looks to be an extremely easy machine to make into a really nice rider. I'm seeing tank (if it bugs you), front fender, and fix the shift "basket" thing I posted photos of (I'm pretty sure that is the problem) and be good to go under $300 easy.

    I'd say get a full engine gasket kit and a carb kit so you have basically anything you will ever need gasket wise.

    I just noticed, the right side cover looks to be missing bolts?! If you need some misc small parts, I might have some around for a good price. No tank or fender though.

    yea missing a few bolts and needs tail light lens and the right brake lever the gas tank looks clean inside so idk if there was a dent and they were trying to fix it with bondo or what. He said he had a mechanic look at it and he said some shifter part was bent.

    I'll check my pile of parts and see if I can locate anything. I'm pretty sure I don't have the taillight, but I might have the brake lever, or honda might even offer them up new yet. The shift shaft I do have and bottom end bolts.
