OK, oddjob I stand corrected on my terminology as I got it from the Haynes manual, already paid for the selectors, they should be here next week, if they are no good it's £60 down the drain, and I may have to shelve the project untill I get all the bits we need,
The bike was last used in 95 up until then the oil and filter were changed at the latest every 2000m, but l don't think we ever did that much in any one Yr
must admit there was, still is a film of black crudd in the bottom of the sump. How much would you want for the centre fork?
Thanks

OK, thanks for the tips Bryanj and yes that's correct after studying things when you shift to 3rd the right selector moves the 4th gear on the layshaft into what is just called a layshaft gear via the dogs which then connects it to the mainshaft for 3rd

The only gear with any excessive play is the 1st gear on the layshaft, all others (the fixed ones) seem to have their respective circlips and washers and feel ok.
Selector forks ordered from ebay
Looking for 4th gear L/S and L/S gear
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes I suppose I can go down that route or a mix of old and new as far as I remember the head has nothing except ex studs, it's in the loft somewhere the cyl barrel is complete ready for fitting
Cheers

Thanks for the link Trigger, parts I need where do I start, first get those gears replaced as in previous post +many others associated with a rebuild
We have a brand new bare cyl head and barrel which we bought many yrs ago which we are considering
using depending on cost to equip them but that's further down the road

Glad you asked for a better pic Trigger, this confirms what's been going on

They don't seem to list the 500 anymore, is it cos the 550 is the same for most parts?

OK folks, reckon it's time to accept that I've, (well the wife that is) cos it's her bike has to spend some big bucks and find some new bits, gonna see if silvers still got them repro gears I saw a few months ago

I think k2 is on the right path, looking closer, there is a a lip on the fork, which suggests it's had some pressure from the gear, but contrary to the pic is not blue so hasn't had too much, it certainly isn't as good as the ones in the picture that trigger sent
