Oh no! Found a spring!

(1/1)

DomP:
While having a tidy up I've found a spring!  My heart sank when I saw it as I recognised it straight away, im sure its part 18 in the below parts diagram.   Now since the rebuild I've ridden my 550 a few times and not noticed gear change problems so I'm wondering if it came on a spare gear shift shaft I bought, can anyone confirm if omitting it would definitely cause shift problems? 

Nurse Julie:
It's the return spring Dom.

Bryanj:
If that was missing the gear lever would flop down all the time

DomP:
Thank God for that then!  I think it came on a spare i got to replace the original that had damaged splines,  thanks Julie/Bryan
