500 ride again project
Laverda Dave:
Yep that's worked👍
Safo:
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
Laverda Dave:
It may be the light of the flash but the countershaft pinion (second photo) appears to be worn to me? I've never had a CB500/550 and maybe this is normal? I'm sure someone with better knowledge of these bikes can confirm and offer some insight though.
Bryanj:
The selector has overheated and probably worn to excess or is bent. If it is the centre one you are going to have trouble getting a new one, last one i saw advertised on ebay was over £100 delivered. I think it is the same as the 350 twin but will have to check numbers again and if so there are lots about used in the US and for some reason they dont wear as much in the 350.
Trigger:
I am not understanding "it tried to jump out of 3rd" ? Was it going in to a false neutral between 3rd to 4th ?
