I recently had to change my outputshaft , forks, bearings,etc. Fromosd failure. First ride out tonight, on startup I was hearing a whirring noise, as the engine heats up the noise went away. Going downthe road, fine, highway, fine. All at a sudden rolling the street on 4th gear, bike shuts off rear tire screeching down the road locked up. Lucky nothing hit me. Push to the side. Bike starts in N but it's still in a gear when I release the clutch. Got frustrated for awhile then took off. 1,2,3 rev clickity click then smooth from there. Home. Now I'm afraid to ride it.Help?
 
sounds almost like a shift fork broke....

Guess what you get to do.....yep tear her down again....fun right

Can you still shift gears up??
 
you rode it .
it locked up while riding !
then you started it and it rode home fine ?

is that it ?

Something loose inside there, got stuck or jammed momentarily but now free ?
If this is true you have no choice but to open it again ?


Glad you are OK...
 
In general broken stuff does not fix itself unless your busa is actually a 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine. Don't ride it anymore until you get to the bottom of the problem. Good Luck.

Funny! Glad you're okay. Hopefully you can get it to a shop for a teardown.
