05 Mastiff trans problem

[The legend 1982]

Can Someone Please Help Me I Have A 05 Mastiff I was riding it
today and went from 2nd to 3rd and it was fine so I had to turn I down shifted
and there was nothing there the motor was still running so I shut it off
now when I try to start the bike the starter spins and if u put it in gear and try to start it
With the cluch not held thebike takes off sounding like a elect bike is it something
in my trans

Franco will be along shortly....

Drain your primary and take your outer primary cover off....sounds like your clutch hub nut came loose/off.

From your vague description I would say check your shift linkage to see if it's in neutral and the link ends aren't broke or the arm on the trans is moving. The trans is in gear if you can't start it without pulling in the clutch so either your linkage is bad or your trans is stuck in gear and the arm on the trans is not moving the trans shaft. The nut on the trans arm could have come lose and the arm isn't moving the trans to change gears.

"and if u put it in gear and try to start it With the cluch not held the bike takes off"

Duh..... of course it will it's in gear??? Am I missing something??

Franko is just going to ask you to post on the intro thread...

The linkage is in tack and working it's like something has came loose or broke

The starter free spins like it will turn but not catch and start the bike but if u release the cluch in gear the bike will take off sounding like an electronic motorcycle but not turning the engine over I don't get it

I'm really sorry bro but after 50 years of riding and building you have me baffled. I think you need a priest, bible and a chicken.... If you figure it out please let me know...

"The starter free spins like it will turn but not catch and start the bike " that sounds like your jackshaft.

"but if u release the cluch in gear the bike will take off sounding like an electronic motorcycle but not turning the engine over I don't get it" What do you mean by "take off?" Does it move forward?

I guess Imma take it to the shop and let them trouble shoot it for me I will keep yall posted

Yes the starter will pull the bike fwd but not turning the engine over its like it's only turning the trans i don't know lol beats all i have ever seen

Take the primary cover off and you should be able to find the problem!
Of course drain the primary oil first.

Then you have something wrong with the primary chain/gear. You might have stripped the gear. Good luck

Did you get any slack in your clutch lever? If so, chances are your clutch hub nut has become loose or you might have snapped your main input shaft...

Ya, but he says it's not turning the engine over which means the clutch isn't connecting with the motor. He said if you try to start it in gear with the clutch not pulled in the bike will move forward which means the clutch and trans are working. He also says in neutral when you try to start it it spins like crazy but the motor doesn't turn again, which sounds like the motor isn't connected to the trans.

Right, that's why I asked if he lost any clutch lever. I had a customers K-9 do the same thing and the main shaft was busted...

pull your primary!!!!! the ghost will reveal itself, broken chain? engine sprocket? if your starter will move your bike in gear but not turn over the engine you have a problem between clutch and engine

I've been saying the same thing. Do the BD's have the chuck key in the engine sprocket? If so he could have sheared that off.

It's the cluch and cluch housing it all came apart 1380 buck set back they showed me that the main nut bbroke and the whole assembly came apart and can only get it through big dog thanks for all the help and insight guys

Glad you found the problem but good luck with getting the parts through BD. They went out of business. For $1,400 I'd buy a complete belt drive. And $1380 for a clutch hub and labor is a rip off...
