Good morning Im trying to help a friend of mine he has a 2007 road king 6 speed clutch cable not hydraulic.
he got stuck on the highway where his bike just wont go into gear. I put his bike in neutral and tried to shift it into first yet the bike was still in neutral or just couldnt find the gear obviously. I tried pulling upwards for more gears still cat grab a gear. The bike just roles like its in neutral still.
has anyone had any experience with this before I start turning any wrenches??
what to look for first any obvious and what to do next after these things dont work.
Any help would be great Ive never worked on internal transmission before so if you have any links as well that would be most helpful

If there is a problem with the clutch it should still shift with the engine off. With it not running, rock the bike back and forth while shifting. Watch the entire shift linkage assembly and make sure all of the parts are moving as a unit. Stepping on the lever should make the arm on the transmission (behind the primary) move.
