Gear Shift Problem

[96zx11boy]

Hey there i am working on a 96 i layed it down from a wheelie then i had to replace the left front peg mount because it broke and now i fixed that. My bike starts so i started it and shifted down from third gear back to neutral now for some reason the bike will only shift into 1rst gear and neutral although i have not actually rode the bike after fall due to the throttle sleeve breaking from the fall also so i am trying to shift from a sitting position and i am wondering did i not adjust the foot shifter link correctly or is it because the bike is sitting that it wont shift i have not yet got the whole bike moving due to the throttle and the fairings broke but i need to know what i can do to fix if something needs to be fixed or from laying the bike down could it be a tranny problem i layed it down in 3rd gear. Thank you for your time

Bike won't shift to second gear till its moving.

Agreed, this is the Kawasaki positive neutral finder working perfectly. Honestly, I seriously doubt you damaged anything mechanical from the crash you describe.

Possibly could be your valves maybe its just time for a tune up. Have it looked at by a mechanic asap before it gets worse thats my only advice.
