Ok Bane I am not an expert, I have only had my Rocket for 6 weeks also.

From the information you have provided we can conclude that the engine is turning over fine, therefore we have the crank turning.
It sounds like the clutch is working as you have managed to move up and down the gears.

As Mr Hunt is saying either you are not able to select a gear in the gearbox or you have lost drive to the axle from the gearbox.

The detents are used to select the gears and therefore could be the problem. I am not sure how best to check without breaking things apart.

Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge about the bike will step forward.

I am with Mr Hunt and hope that it is a simple problem and you get back on the road quickly. Sorry I could not be more help

more than likely something has broken in the clutch
if u take off the oil cap and dip a swab or card board into the oil to get a sample and inspect it. color/smell.
if the clutches r fried it will smell bad.

Beginning to think I should have walked away when the Rocket caught my eye instead of opening my wallet

I know this is not solving your problem, but was curious as to how you got the bike back home. IF you had it towed, how did they do it? Flat bed hauler, ramp? Seems most of these guys HATE trying to load a motorcycle that is not already messed up from a crash. I can't imagine trying to winch a 800 lb motorcycle up on a tilted flat bed wrecker. I've been searching for a reasonably priced trailer. One of the type that lowers the whole ramp flat on the ground, then you winch it up, pop the pins back in, and go. Hard to find, but a friend, and my last Dealer has one.
