Is there an easy way to test for charging ?

I had a similar issue with my RD125 gearlinkage,


I found double ended rose jointed shaft available at your local computer based auction site,

Totally improved the operation and feel.

The problem John is how to attach them to the lever parts. After experimenting with the 1300 lever I found it was quite easy to lock up the rose joint as the side and middle of the joint were held against the lever. This just freezes it in place, yes it still moves but it wears very quickly as it's not free to move and is essentially forced to by foot pressure. The other problem is finding a bolt that is secure and won't rattle off , I seem to recall my solution was to have no nuts involved at all, both ends are like button caps. They are actually spaced away from the lever by a gnats whisker.

They really need protection boots fitted as well or they get full of dirt etc not an ideal placement where they are, loads of stuff getting flung around that area.

On the 500 that bolt is threaded both ends, could be the same on the 400. In which case loosen the nut on the gearchange end and take the bolt further through the frame by tightening the nut on the brake lever end. That should stop it hitting.

I've done as you suggested - and moved it a few threads along so no longer a danger of catching the shaft end threads - I was tunnel visioned that the threads had to match on both sides.

Oddjob:
I don't think it would have mattered on an OE gear lever Ted, but needs must when it's an aftermarket one. Not exactly like you look at both sides at once anyway.
