And yes it has, top one is 2nd gear selected by turning drum by hand below is 3rd selected, it seems to be fully engaged but when the bike was last running it used to try jumping out of 3rd but never actually did so it was a case of short shift to 4th but it spoilt the ride, as I said before there is signs wear and evidence of the gears trying to separate but I still don't think it's excessive, should I turn my attention to the claw that pulls the drum around, is this a part that wears?
Thanks in advance

Hi Trigger, the plan is to fix her issues and run her again, sticking front brake, warped f disc, fork gai tors split, seals leaking and overhall eng, fix 3rd gear
 prob, replace broken pushrod and one new issue remove snapped m6 c/case bolt, thanks for throttle cable info hope that's why I joined
