if it had some trans work done to it he could have screwed it up. The engine sounds ok so that is not what is running backwards

The test ride after completing the work would have been exciting.

I thought only 2-strokers could be started up in reverse, without re-gearing it, how the hell do you do that

Ya even the big 2 strokes can run backwards as in transport trucks
detroit diesel 2 strokes used to stall then run in reverse if you were backing up to a loading dock and bumped into it really hard. made for some interesting times

im still a little confused about this, if u didnt ride the bike home, of course u wouldnt notice it then when u didnt ride it,, so u had to put it on a trailer, or something,, did u push it up on the trailer? and especially having tranny work done, why would u not check to see if the bike is properly fixed after the service? im kinda lerry on this whole situation
