Partially Restored 74 CB550
davidcumbria:
Replacement used Mainshaft arrived today. Was pleased to find using new shaft all gears now rolling smoothly over each other. Tracked the slight sticking problem on the original gear down to a couple of teeth. Since it is wear lines across the width of the teeth( bit hard to make out in the photo bit the speckly white band is a channel dug out of the tooth - the narrow grey band above and below are the same tooth surface and the vertical banding is the end of the tooth)I think this is more likely due to the incorrect assembly with the unseated bearing location dowels pushing the shafts out of alignment. (And pushing through the casing at the other end when tightened in gorilla mode) Actions have consequences! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

About to join cases.
Does this look ok? The output shaft oil pump bearing hole is vertical ( pin located) though the photo makes it look otherwise.
