I know that so far all of my posts have been begging for help but I will admit I am a noob and there are a lot of extremely helpful people on here and everyone seems very nice.
With that being said I rebuilt the top end of my 89 Blaster .040 over no other major mods on my quad except exhaust. I rode it today to break it in everything went real well it ran great I was very careful breaking it in and had experienced people with me helping me through the process used a whole tank staying out of the power band and letting it cool off and idle then ride then repeat.
Eventually we started doing some descent riding and I charged a hill that wasn't too steep but I was on the wrong side of it and ended up having to go at it again. Next time up I ended up rolling it 3-4 times down the hill. All that happened was the clutch lever bent back a little.
Once I started riding (finding another way to the top of the hill) it got stuck in neutral then was a pain to get it past 2nd gear. To get it into 3rd I have to pull in the clutch and drop to 1st then shift straight back up to 3rd without letting out the clutch and even then it is real hard to get in. By hard I mean literally I cannot lift the shifter it just will not move if it is in 2nd.
I have always had problems getting it into 6th...well I've never actually been able to get it into 6th and yes I do know it is 1 down 5 up (I've noticed a lot of people mention to make sure you know that and I do it does not go into 6th gear). It's as if there is no gear there I would try to lift the shifter and it just felt like riding a bike and trying to shift when you are already in your top gear.
Sorry for the long read but I hope someone will read this and have some suggestions for me. I am kind of worried about trying to work on the trans by myself. I am very familiar with working on cars but either way would never attempt a transmission and now the top end was the first thing I have ever worked on any kind of motorcycle engine (completely different than cars). So basically any advice would be extremely helpful whether it be approximate cost of having someone look into this or if it is fairly basic to where I can do it just by using schematics to fix this myself and what it might be.
Thanks in advance!!
