Last weekend I lowsided my 09 xb12 on some gravel. I was only doing about 20 mph and I was fine. I assessed the damage and the shift linkage was bent, toe peg snapped off and the rest was cosmetic.
So, I recieved my new shifter and linkage today and I start up the bike, drop it to first, then up to second and grinding. So, I brought it to neutral and tried again, same grinding. Then, I shut it down. I tried rolling the bike back and forth while in 1st, with the clutch in and it wouldn't roll more than a few inches, like it was still in gear.
How bad did I f*ck up?
Please feel free to tell me what an idiot I am.
