forks don't bend, they break and he would have problems in another besides 2nd if that were the case.

Blocker rings are part of the synchronizer assembly and they are the most common failure because they are made of bronze. If you open up a case and see goldish-bronze metal shavings, then you definately know what failed.

you may just need to take the shift boot off and adjust the "stop" bolt on the shifter.
