    my CR80 Wont Shift

    I took my motor into the Honda dealership over the winter to have the crank redone. Today i put the engine back in the frame and fired it up. It runs strong but it wont shift. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what is wrong.

    Thanks
    Alex

    theres alot of things. but before you pull the engine apart again, how long wasn't there oil in it. the clutches might be stuck. get it running and hold the clutch lever in and rev the motor for a little bit. then try to shift. that would help spread the clutches apart. if that don't work they might have put something in the engine wrong.

    they told me when i brought the bike in that it was in neutral....funny to me tho cuz i just brought the engine in. they cut the bill in half so im gonna see if i pay for the parts if the labour will be free. it only seems fair.

    they should have seen that when they rebuilt the motor. tell them you will pay for the part but not the labor. i would stay away from them after this and find somebody else to do the work.

    CR80's don't have automatic transmissions. You have to shift them manually.
