Blaster won't go into first or second gear

[Just Riding]

Hi Gurus,

I'm going to help a buddy out and see if I can repair his gen 1 Blaster. He's dropping it off tomorrow. What I know so far is that it used to run great then started not being able to go into first gear (just skipped it). With that issue he would use 2nd on up until it stopped going into 2nd gear. After that will only 3rd+ working it has sat in the woods.

I wanted to get some thoughts from the forum before I dig into this. Has anyone else had a similar experience? (Bad shift drum etc?)

I'll know more once I get into it but am looking to do a little homework first.

Thanks in advance.

What’s your skill set for working on this? How familiar are you with a motorcycle trans?
Off the top of your head what do YOU think is wrong ?
