Hello, I just replaced the clutch cable and the bike shifts easily into 1st. or 2nd. but, not into 3rd. or 4th. So, I know the clutch is working okay. It's almost like the shift lever is hitting a stop because it doesn't even feel like there is a 3-4 gear.

I would appreciate any suggestions to help me troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks, Mark

Did you check the shifter cables and shift box?

^ Yep, probably cable adjustment. Remove the selector box cover and raise the rear tire off the ground. See if you can move the selector into 3d and 4th using a screwdriver down at the box while rotating the tire back and forth.
