Transmission not engaging

[Rghudnall]

I have a 2004 Suzuki Marauder1600 that I had a bearing go out in the front bevel gear and throw metal throughout the engine last summer. I tore down the motor and cleaned everything out and replaced the bearing. While it was down I replaced the clutch plates and put in a heavier spring plate. After many months I finally was able to fire it up and it sounds good. However I have no gears. While I was trying to fire it I couldn't find neutral but it felt like a gear was engaged when I tried to rotate the rear tire. After it started up it feels like the rear tire is spinning free but I can't shift through any of the gears. Any suggestions?

Welcome to TMW! You've come to the right place.

Although I myself don't have the in-depth technical knowledge necessary to diagnose your trouble, one of our other members certainly will and should reply shortly. Thank you for joining!

Perhaps you should start with rechecking the clutch adjustment.
You changed that with the new parts and it may need resetting.
