Won't shift down from 3rd

1st likely culprit is pretty much always the detent spring with shifting issues. After that it gets more complicated.

What does it do when attempting to go down to 2nd?

I'm thinking (hoping for Yang Yang) there may be something binding on the detent wheel, like a piece of spring.

@Yang Yang Pulling the front cover and clutch will expose the detent wheel and spring which will quickly tell you whether you're going to need to go deeper into the cases or not. I think @warp9.9 has a guide somewhere you can search on how to replace the detent spring, which will have the guide to removing the front cover. In short, it's pull radiator, pull front cover, pull clutch. Not particularly hard or expensive.

Hi all, I'm excited to join this community. Unfortunately I ran into a a issue that has me stumped. I stated the bike after a period of storage and it was shifting fine, the once I shifted through the gears the transmission is stuck on the upper gears. It will shift from 3 to 5th but won't go down from 3rd to 1st. Please help.

As much time as i've spent in a Rocket transmission, very little of it was fixing them

Yang Yang dude are you changing gear on the spot or bike rolling down the road?
