Okay, some updates on this... The previous owner had the clutch cover off because the owner before him laid the bike down and cracked the cover, so it needed a new one.

I took the cover off, put it back together and now I have neutral! I got the bike started but only for a second because my throttle cable is stuck wide open... so I am not able to find out how it drives or does not drive. I should know soon once the new cable arrives.

Does anyone know why my kick starter is not retracting? Is there a spring in there?

Thanks! And yes, Vermont is great for getting a title for non-titled motor vehicles. People do the same process to acquire new titles with cars as well. I don't have a title for my CT110, just a bill of sale.

Thanks for your help, Jeff
