Hi everyone
Some of will have seen my intro in newbie section.
The motor is now fully striped and I'm looking at the 3rd gear issue, which I now to be a problem the thing is there is signs of wear but not execesive, the forks look straight
Does anyone know how long the 3rd gear dogs should be should be
Thanks
Nurse Julie:
We have a customers CB500/4 engine in for overhaul at present. If you can wait until tomorrow either I will measure it or get Trig to and let you know but it's usually the width of the dog end which is measured and the service limit is in the service manual.
Bryanj:
If you assemble everything into the top case with selectors engaged you should be able to turn the shafts(both need to turn) and select all the gears to visually check of engagement.
Safo:
Yes I Already tried this, looks OK, also tried to Separate the gears by taking up all slack in selector mech but they still seemed to have purchess, just found 0.9mm end float in selector drum, selector fork measures 4.9 Grove in gear is 5.15 I think is OK what do you think? Tried to post pics but to big
Bryanj:
Sorry no can diagnose without pics i am afraid.
