I thought I'd get a little input before I go tearing things apart in a more serious manner.
A couple months ago, I was riding around when I tried to shift from 3rd to 4th. I engaged the clutch and pulled up on the lever, just to feel... not quite a full click. Oh, I'm still in 3rd - I try again, to no avail and no click. Just a floppy lever in both directions, stuck in 3rd gear.
From reading up in a few threads this does not seem like a detent spring issue, but probably a bolt in the transmission working it's way loose. Am I right in my assessment of the situation, and should I take any preliminary steps to check other things before I go tearing the bike down completely to get at that bolt?
