500 ride again project
Safo:
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!
Bryanj:
I cant remember which gear but there is one that must be fitted with its mating gear on the other shaft as the tooth profile was changed in production. The only way i found out was when i tried to get one decades ago and was told it was superceeded and came as a pair. Sorry cant be more help
Bryanj:
Isnt it 4th you move to lock up 3rd?
Safo:
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
Safo:
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
