Trans trouble?

[cablebrosracing]

I have just rebuilt this motor completely and nowit is very hard to get the bike into 1st gear evrything checked out fine when i was assembling the cases but now that i have been riding it i noticed this problem. Any suggestions as to what i did wrong possibly. thanks

is it only hard to get into 1st gear? is the clutch adj properly?

It is only first gear which is why i didn't even think about the clutch but i guess that is a good place to start. The bike jerks like it is engaging but it doesn't. Sometimes it will take 3 or 4 stomps on the shifter before it will catch first gear and i have to roll the bike back and forth a couple times. once rolling, the bike never misses a shift but on that note i do not shift with the clutch when i am going down the track.
