Please help. Smile, you’re on camera.

Why is my shifter not working on my Triumph Bonneville?
For example, there’s a spring in the shifter that keeps its arm against the shifter detent. When functioning properly, the detent engages in preparing for the next shift. If this return spring is broken, the detent spins without engaging, and the shifter shaft would not be able to rotate the shifter drum.
