What can cause a motorcycle transmission to lock?
I had an old motorcycle in the garage, Its a Honda CB650. When I turn it on and I start to ride it, the transmission locked-up between gears. I am changing all of the fluid right now. What can cause the lock up?

Broken parts. Fluid won't fix it LOL.

how to change motorcycle transmission oil?
How do you change the transmission oil on a motorcycle. Do I just put it into the hole on the opposide side of the oil fill?
Motorcycle Store Staff answers:
It's very simple. Run the bike for 5 minutes to warm up the oil and get it flowing and runny. Get a drip-tray (or place loads of newspaper down, or some rags or something to catch the oil) and put it under your bike. There should be a bolt-head on the bottom of the engine - undo that and the oil will drain out. When the oil has stopped flowing out of the bottom of the bike, screw the bolt back in, then undo the oil-filler plug at the top of the engine case. (Or on the side, depends on the type of bike, but it will be a hard rubber plug with a fin on it for turning by your fingers). It will be on the engine case - not the cylinder!
Get some motor oil and pour in the required amount and Bob's your mother's brother!
