There may be a finger missing that meshes the gears (I had this symptom on my old CL175 until the last of the three fingers broke off, then I didn't have that gear at all.) It could also be a bent shifter fork. If it was more that just one gear, I might suspect the shifter drum, but it could still be at fault for just first. In any case, it usually means splitting the housing. Tranny work on Hondas is surprisingly simple, once the engine is off the bike. If you've never taken the engine off, I don't recommend you learn now by yourself. If you've had engines off but just never split a case, you'll be amazed at how simple the transmission is to work on once you get to it. mikey at trsvax.
