HELP! won't shift into third after low side

[volkage]

First off: Bike is a 2005 Lightning 12 with about 7k miles

I laid the bike down a while ago at very low speed, impact was mainly a slide. The slide broke the shift linkage, shift lever, clutch lever and bent the handlebar (I had a firebolt top triple on at the time). a small hole was ground into the primary cover, just below where the shift lever mounted.

After collecting parts for a LONG time, everything is back together now, bike runs fine and has first, second and neutral but will not shift into third.

Could it be a bent shift shaft or even just that shift linkage is not adjusted properly?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i am no expert but i just finished a rebuild on an xb9sx that had similar damage and would not shift, i found the springs on the ratchet assembly on the shift shaft had fallen off now she goes along great but every once and a while she doesn't like to shift down out of fourth. some guys tell me bent pin on the drum. good luck
