belong in here . . . Yes, this Saturday's project sees me changing out the selector springs in the gearbox. One of them, and I suspect the left one has got lazy, but while I am in there am going to change all three, particularly as a common fault sees the middle one breaking, leaving you in which every gear your in.
kin el Kev, someone has been taking the piss. They have nipped into your garage while you were out , and changed the writing on the engine from Shite to Sport The little scamps. On a more serious note why don't you fit a new elastic band and lollypop stick while your in there.
Coming from a football supporter, or rather the panto that Manc Utd play, you distaste of my steed is positively encouraging. Let me know when you evolve for primeordeal soup of plastic fantastic bland rice burners. You may come to appreciate character one day, but I hold out little hope.
Adolf, Stalin and Pol Pot were all characters but were not particularly appreciated. All like the Guzzi were visually disturbing, slightly warped, didn't work properly and to be fair , if set on fire and burnt to a crisp would have made the world a better place.
So this evening I thought I would get a little head start. Disconnected the battery. Relocated the rear shock reservoir. Removed the starter motor flashing. Disconnected and removed the starter motor. Drained the oil, collecting it in a washing machine door, and using a piece on ali channel to guide the oil offer the exhaust. Which worked well . . . not. Removed the gear selector lever. and the gear shift lever. Inspected the gear linkage mechanism for play. No play, but a little stiff. That may have been the problem, but not much further now so pressing on regardless. Certainly be giving it a clean and oil before refitting. Might look out some boots too. Neutral switch disconnected. From above I charted out the bolts in a piece of card to store them safely in order. then after checking all the bolts are removed . . . gave the select plate a jemmy with a 10mm open end in the prescribed place. and there are the selector cams that drive the selector forks and inside the gearbox .... You can see the orientation marks on the cams that have to be orientated correctly for re-assemble. We six springs . . Wonder if there is a bookie on here taking odds me making JnS for Breakfast on Sunday?
Couldn't find it mate. I did think about it before Ludo posted. Lost 15 minutes looking for the straw I did not need to do the job. :bang:
Here you go Cabinet. pack of ten for £295. You need your straw to carry out a job like that. http://www.lastnightoffreedom.co.uk/hen-night-shop/novelties-&-accessories/willy-straws/ :thumbsup:
Yes, tried an oil flush a few thousand miles back to see if that would resolve. Gonna change it anyhow.
