Not to sound like a wise ass but I just want to make sure that you know the shift pattern is 1 down and 4 up. Maybe you are getting fifth and dont know it? The aircoolers were know for eating second and third usually.

HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
manuals can be found on ebay and clymer have there own website. If you don't have the cash to take it to a shop have dad or an uncle or neighbor help you. Have to learn sometime right! your not going to figure it out by sitting behind the computer. get your digital camera and your gaskets first. when your stuck ask questions everyone is here to help! Also fix that darn chain! don't want to do this work then have to do it all over again cause you threw your chain and split a engine case.

ok i took the side cover peices off, or at least the one over the flywheel. it had some surface rust which makes me wonder if it had been submerged. ill take off the other cover and check stuff out tomorrow, and take pics.

you didnt fill up the oil to the top of the filler--did you? also drain the oil, if it is silver or has metal shavings in it you have major problems...

I would change the tranny oil and replace it with a low weight tranny oil such as dumonde tech racing tranny oil or maxima 80 wt. I would install a magnetic drain plug if you don't have one. I would purchase a new clutch and install it. (hopefully the basket is not bad)It sounds as though all this needs to be done anyway. I would triple check that the shift lever is ok and not slipping due to being stripped. If none of that works I would take it to a good shop and have them split the cases to fing the culprit. You would have needed a new clutch anyway, at least now you can narrow it down to a bigger job. Good luck.

Look for the lowest possible position for the drain bolt.. i don't have an R so i'm sorry i can't point it directly.
But if you have metal flakes in your oil.. you got problems !!!!! serious ones !

Be careful not to strip stuff...
Look for a bolt either on the bottom of the block ( underneath the tranny ) or one to the side that looks different from the rest.. usually a bigger one than the case bolts.
Get a good grip on it with the METRIC sockets or good wrench (mm.. not inches .. metric ) and give it a solid pop or pull progressively hard until you either determine it won't budge and will strip. but if you see it start to strip.. STOP.
Go to " www.partsfish.com " and register if you are not a user.. it's easy and free.
Look up your model and make and year on there and you will be able to find the drain bolt in one of the diagrams.

I checked it myself and it looks like the 12mm bolt directly underneath the crancase.

i was thinking of takeing the bike in to be fixed, but i cant afford it. the local dealership charges 80$ per hour for labor!! i almost had a heart attack! so i think ill go find a parts motor and a freelance mechanic, and get 'er done. shops prices are outrageous these days.
