Anybody had this happen.

Got up this morning to my 05 R3 to work. Noticed the bike seemed to hesitate the backwards roll I have to do to get down my driveway to get to the street. Bike shifted it usual clunky shifts to work. When I went to park could not get the bike to shift to neutral. Shut the bike off, pop right into neutral. Turned the bike back on and not able to shift. You can see where this is going. Not running shifts. Running no shift while stationary. Any ideas?? Get to the repair shop as soon as possible?

Drop the oil and sump pan check for metal bits. Gasket is less the 20 bucks. Oh ride the roadster.

As Warp baby said drop the sump , catching anything early could save you some money down the road.

Update: Clutch cable was stretched beyond adjusters ability. I screwed the adjuster all the way out then slipped in a spacer to take up more slack. Problem gone. When I bought this bike the clutch adjuster was about at limit. Seems overnight it finally stretched beyond its ability to completely disengage the engine. What a relief.

Checked again. You were spot on. Thanks
