With the new parts that arrived and over the Xmas period to escape the insanity of been cooped up I braved the cold in the garage to get some more work done.
Mainshaft assembly
All parts cleaned and checked
Before the first gear goes on the shaft there should be a circlip against the bearing. Note - Circlips are Honda specific which are flat one side and rounded/curved the other and shaped as show below.
Forth gear then gets pushed against the bearing flat side first.
Next the thurst washer and circlip to hold the gear in place
2nd and third mainshaft gear
mainshaft top gear
thrust washer
roller bearing and then all painted with some assembly lube
Drop the mainshaft into the top case aligning the middle gear shifter fork to sit between second and third gear. Align pin with the roller bearing and give a spin.
