Hey all, after doing pages of research on here I haven't really come across my exact issue. I have some weird issue that started happening with my transmission that prematurely ended my race season this past season. Little backstory on the bike it's a 2018 yz250X, has ~150hrs or so on it and it has been raced hard since new (oil changed after every race) in the local woods series. So I had gone to Tennessee for the fall trail ride at Loretta Lynn's ranch and rode the whole weekend with no issues to speak of in the transmission, I did notice that my clutch was worn out (not a huge shock since it is raced weekly) So I got home to NC and had a race the following weekend; Changed my clutch (Friction and Drive plates) After I changed the clutch I went to test ride the bike and adjust the clutch appropriately and found that I had First gear and Neutral but the bike will not shift into 2-5 gear at all. Initially I suspected that somehow something with the clutch or my clutch cable adjustments was playing into it somehow; after getting as far as completely removing the clutch, inner hub, and the whole basket one by one I could still not get past first gear. I looked at the cam and lever on the clutch side of the shift fork and couldn't see any obvious signs that it wasn't working right. Anything I should really be looking at after splitting the cases? Having them opened up on initial inspection I don't see anything crazy obvious and just want to make sure I don't overlook anything
