Your transmission is designed to not shift into the upper gears unless the bike is moving. The 3 little ball bearings shown below are part of the lockout mechanism. Ed

Yup, I've found myself looking for something wrong until I remember that. I've only had the bike 40 years but I seem to forget that.

It's a nice feature unless you are trying it out on the bench. I had one member e-mail me, he was frantic. Complete overhaul and can't shift it on the bench. I told him about it and haven't heard from him since.

I figured this out quick after getting my rearsets and linkages mounted and couldn't find 2nd lol Immediately hit google and let out a big sigh of relief!
