My bike sorta has 12 gears.
Dropped her 2 weeks ago since then she had been working pretty weird.
Once in a while i can't even start the engine, and sometime when i tired to downshift from Neutral to first gear i still ended up with neutral...often have to step on it multiple times to down shift to first gear. Sometime when i am at 2 gear it would drop down to neutral too, although this had been happening for quite a while and i reckon that might simply be because i am not kicking it hard enough (doesn't had any problem with other gears tho, odd enough). What should i start checking for? I am by all means no mechanic but to me it seems like it has something to do with either engine or gear box. Or both?

Is the shift lever properly attached? Maybe it loosened up with use and dropping it loosened it some more?

for one, be gentle on the shifter. When you get stuck in neutral and it won't go down to first, let the clutch out just to the beginning of the friction zone, and tap it down like normal into first. It will drop into first nicely. Bashing on the shift lever is a great way to bend shift forks and need tranny work.

Just replace battery and it still isn't starting smoothly.
Like it would make a Pop sound (exhaust?) and dies..without choke, best is that it starts, rumble a little and dies. Thought it might be a dirty carb but none of those too rich/lean systoms exist besides hard to start...might be a motor thing i guess. Man there's a lot to learn about bike maintaince..
