The gear lever on my 2011 ST1300 won't ...... lever this is!!
Out for a short ride to Whittlesea this AM to meet some of my / our Ulysses colleagues, and my gear lever stopped levering, the gear shifter stopped shifting - stuck in 3rd gear.
Limped home, parked in garage, on to centre stand, LH lower fairing off. Still pretty dark in there (a torch helped), very tight, no room for hands or even a good look, but it seems like the lever system has been disconnected between items 4 and 5 in this diagram.
This from a link provided by Saaz (RIP) for 2003 - 2004 model ST1300's.
Any clues or advice from others on this matter, eg:
* Do you think I'm on the right track?
* Is some thing broken in there or 4 and 5 just separated
* Do I keep pulling off side panels for a better look, next one look like the panel that the pillion foot rest is mounted on, this means also removing the tow bar or at least part of it?
* Am I off-track altogether, sans the tow bar?
* Do I pack back together and take it to the dealer?
