The easiest thing to check and costs nowt, is to make sure the gear change lever is in the correct position on the shaft. If it's set too high, the lever may be fouling on the casing when lifting the lever to go up to 6th.
I hope so Julie, I cured the absent 1st gear like that, maybe overzealously, I'll have to wait for daylight now...gives me time to pray as well lol!

Hi Kevin. Are all the selector drum dowels in place ?
Finding myself also with no 6th gear...if this is the issue is it going to be expensive? I don't have the facilities to try doing it myself, not that I'd know how.

Yes...I just got a bad feeling and went to see...no sixth, at least not cold at a stand still not that anything will change when I start again....oh gawsh.

Just wondering!
You started this, so what's your story ??
OK. I began in 1982 with an awful company called Olympic where I spent more time on the pavement than a pigeon, I moved over to 'Hotline' soon got the sack, then 'Ambassador' and then 'Delta' where I started to get good. I moved on to a roguish little firm called 'Falcon' great lads (& Lasses') ..oh, forgot my flirtation with 'Professional couriers' and 'Express'....dispatch is a job where you can change horse three times in a day. I also rode with Addison Lee a while and ...gawd there's loads. The best company though was GLC (Greater London Couriers) with their 25% attendance bonus and no advertising their jobs...word of mouth! I rode a gaggle of CB250 RS's one reached 77,000 miles. A CB250 wet dream, a GT380 (got me nicked) A z400J..came off at 70mph and never hurt myself, came off again at about 15 mph and thought I'd bust my leg. I did get a ban for 6 months and knew most of the Police station cells from being arrested non payment of fines lol. I couldn't resist turning up now and then on my RG500s. I quit the job in 1991.

Yep, both should be satin black, PJI make a good black satin but it requires curing at 100c, OK for the brake caliper but I wouldn't use it on the clocks unless you have stripped them down.
Is it ok to use normal paint on the caliper?

I'm going to paint the clocks and the front brake calipers of my CB400F2...it's clear someone has done this before and not too well. They are gloss just now but I suspect it should be satin?
