Gearbox Stuck - The last straw?
SeanFD:
If you mean the bolts on the gear selector parts, they are all 6mm; I don't think there is a listed torque fro them, but the general torque for those, AFAIK, in 5,8 - 8,7 ft-lbs.
The Common Service Manual says to use a bit of thread locker on the shift drum stopper plate bolt, so maybe add a little of all three.

Finally got up in the loft Sean and found the bag with the neutral switches in. Let's say £37 inc P&P.

SeanFD:
Thanks Ken, I've sent you that.
Quick update:
I removed the internals of the neutral switch and filled the cavity with Hondabond. After several trials and tribulations – which included finding the countershaft thrust washer in the recess for the kickstarter as I was about to install the latter – I got everything back together and the engine replaced.
Now, I'm happy to report that all 6 gears are there, both up and down. The weather precluded a road test, so that will have to wait till next time.
I am convinced this bike has enjoyed her retirement so much that she is determined to frustrate all my efforts to get her back on the road; I did mention those trials and tribulations ...
The last one I discovered was when replacing the exhaust; I pulled on the rear wheel and thought is moved when it shouldn't have; it feels as if the rear bearings need replacing. But these and the damper bushes are NEW! Like less that 5 miles old!!
Maybe I haven't tightened the bearing retainer?? Next time!
Bryanj:
Is it play at the wheel or at the swing arm bearings?
SeanFD:
At the wheel; the swing arm bushes are new also.
