I have no idea bro. The only thing I can recommend is to order the shop manual and go through the trouble shooting guide. It surprises me how many people don't own the shop manual. For $50 online it is well worth it.

Thanks for replying man, I do have that honda repair manual from the guy I bought it off of but I was hoping someone else has had some experience in this because I know I am not the only person in the world that has had this problem. Thanks again!

Thats an interesting problem. Does it not engage in any gears or just first? Based off your explination id say its likely a clutch problem. And exactly what was the previous owner referring to as a "race clutch". Was it just new clutch plates or an entire clutch...or a slipper clutch? So many variables I need more info.

I forgot what it was he told me it was pretty sure its just the rings or plates. But he didn't chince on any of that stuff so it may have been. Stuff happens I am going to disregard saying he put in a race clutch because who knows. It will not engage in any gear. Hold in clutch and pop it into gear and it goes nowhere change gears with/out clutch does nothing. No grinding or anything just acts like I never let off of the clutch. Man she still screams just wish she was screaming while moving down the road without pulling it fred flintstone style. ha ha but its not really funny im really depressed anymore.

Who did the work on the clutch? Do you notice any sounds comming from the cover? If he did the work on the clutch himself id be wondering if he screwed something up. If he had the work done and it was fairly recent id take it back to where it was done and ask them wtf is going on. Otherwise pull the cover and inspect the plates and basket and make sure all is well. Im gonna be pulling mine in the next week or so, have a odd knocking noise from behind the clutch cover. Im hoping its just a broken spring or somethin simple.
Peace
