Good day,

My 2012 V7 racer has been standing for a couple of months so decided to take it for a ride. Pulled away in 1st gear .. then 2nd and pulled off to the gas station to inflate the tyres a bit. After the tires were good to go I noticed that it didnt want to go into neutral so I pulled in the clutch and started it. It didnt want to downshift to 1st gear and the linkage lever is not suck and seems to move to the original position when moving it up or down. Its now stuck in 2nd gear. Any thoughts on where to start looking for the problem?
 
I think that will require a gearbox tear down. Since the gear shift lever returns to the center position , it may be the selector pawl has failed. Item 8 in this graphic.
