Default Buell Blast Help

Have an 05 Buell Blast & a 06 Harley Sportster 883. Today was warming up the Blast which is only 2 weeks old in the driveway & was standing next to it when the kick stand gave way I guess from the vibration as the stand moves easily. It fell over & went into 2nd from the fall then stalled our. No damage except the shifter peg slightly bent from the fall. Would not start up again only cranked, battery ran out of juice neutrall light was on but I put it into 1st then tried neutral again just to make sure & now it won't go into neutral & the shifter feels less tension. Called Harley service as the dealer said I have towing but Harley did not know what I was talking about. Will call the dealer tomorrow. Wonder if the transmission or linkage is messed up.

Did you try turning it off/on a couple times?

The computer turns em off if they tip, or at least on the Harley's they do.

I think something happened to the shift linkage as it was in neutral & now cannot get out of gear, still will not start.

Sit on the bike and try pushing it front and back while shifting it into neutral, not necessarily using the clutch and see if you can find neutral. Then try to start it. Sounds as if it is caught up on a compression stroke and keeping lash on the gears preventing you from shifting it.
