99 Buell X1 Shifting Issues

[Wedosurfer]

I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me. I stopped at a light and everything was normal, light turned green and I shifted into first, (normal) then second which was a little rough, then third which was really rough, tried going past third and I couldn't shift up at all. I pulled over and couldn't find neutral. Shut the bike down and played with the clutch and gears and the same as before: 1st was normal, 2nd was rough, 3rd was really rough and I couldn't push it past that. Rode it home in third. (~2miles) Put it in the garage and checked fluids which were all fine. Decided to hope online and see what the forums said.
I haven't pulled the case off yet. Planned on doing that tomorrow but if anyone had any simple things to check first that would be awesome.
Thanks ahead of time,

Cody

Maybe your clutch cable half broke and wont disengage the clutch fully. I'd look at the clutch, and ramp assembly; along with the cable.

Had the same issue. Replaced the clutch cable (3/4 broken) and the issue vanished. Good luck.. hope all is well with the horse!
