Bike is on the road and registered. Lots of chrome still to be fixed as well as a slightly dodgy clutch but that can happen anytime now the hard stuff is sorted.

On a side note the gears were hard to change for the first 50kms or so but seem to be getting better all the time:)

Got the bike a lot closer to running tonight. Electrics in place and brakes all done.

I've forgotten how to do the whole photobucket thing but here is a link to my website showing build progress.

I have to seriously apologise for my lack of detail as well as my jumping between present and past tense as well as speaking from my own point of view and then third person. I didn't intend for this to be an instructional or humourous... I know you're thinking that's lucky as it was neither :P, however I tend to ramble so feel free to modify and or delete at your own discretion.

As for me I'm off to find an earlier tank so I can keep this old girl a bit more original!

Here's a pic of the modified dog installed.


Now it's just a matter of reinstalling the neutral switch, guide pin, all circlips and the 14mm bolt holding the drive shaft in place.

The shift cam and the shift lever need to be aligned when it's in second gear. You can see here the indentations aligned.


At this point the three new gaskets were ready to be installed.... what three new gaskets?????????? ahhhh a quick run to nearest computer for a purchase of gaskets followed by a week of impatiently waiting and hey presto I'm ready to roll again.

Pic of the second fork selector in place


The dog, gear and last fork selector all went in at the same time as I couldn't figure out any other way of doing it.

Does take a bit of jiggling but compared to the second one the last one is a breeze.


If you've stuck with me this far the rest is a doodle!!! Now that you have an intimate understanding of the transmission as well as your 2 offsiders everything else gets done in a zen like state.

You can see the wear on the closest 'tooth' on the upper left side.
It's easy enough to 'undercut the teeth on both sides and clean up the edges. I'll post a pic of it when I take one of the finished product!

It was from here my work slowed down considerably lol

Basically installing is a reverse of removal.. I had serious hair pulling moments when it came to the reinstalling of the forks.

This is only my way and once again there is probably a better way but the next thing I did was reinstall the shift cam with the 3rd fork almost in position. A third hand is helpful here. The shaft that holds the fork can then be slid in to semi keep it in position. The other issue here is before you can install the shift cam there is a spring loaded selector that likes to get int he way. I ended up getting another set of hands to push it down with a flat head screw driver on a crazy angle while I pushed it into position... at this point it was like a ridiculously greasy same of Twister with profanities but it did work!



here's a close up of my finger.. oh and it's pointing to the 3rd fork (the first one I reinstalled)

The 2nd fork was a headache as it selects the gear on the other shaft which as the motor is sitting now (upside down) it's below the drive axle. As I hadn't reinstalled the dog yet it was possible to slip the fork down between the shaft and the cam. Amazingly is slipped into position after the 30th attempt very easily.. might have been something to do with the cam position or me praying to an ever increasing list of gods.. (managed to make it to Zeus though)

Now the cam, shaft and 2 fork selectors are in place. The fork selector pin slipped through a bit further to ensure the 2nd fork didn't fall out of position.

Pretty straight forward to this point. The shift cam comes out now (may be a circlip on one side here but I may also have had a beer in one hand so hard to say).

This allows the 3 fork guides to be removed. Keep them in order and they are marked on the side anyway.

I could now get access to the dog closest to the gear selector side. This is the one that was showing the most wear on my bike.

Here is a view of it before I got dremel busy!!

Before the shift cam can be removed the neutral switch had to come off as well as a guide pin.
switch is the phillips head in pic and the guide pin is just above it in the pic.

At this point I figured the shift cam had to come out as well as the shift fork guide (I think that's what it's called... it's the shaft that holds the forks in place) Pointing to it here

Thanks Scotty. I'm probably forgetting a step here or there (problem with being easily distracted by shiny things) but it's not for a lack of trying!! oh wow, a dream catcher.... (wanders off)

This plate needs to come off to allow the drive axle to free up.

When I removed the bolt from the opposite side of the drive axle behind the clutch (clutch needs to be removed first by undoing the six bolts holding it in) it allows the axle to move enough to  remove the gear on the gear selector side.

The clutch had to come off so I could get to this crappy little bolt which allows the shaft to come out.


If I remember correctly it's a 14mm. The clutch holder tool is quite handy during the procedure.
