Good Evening all,
Seems like every few weeks I have a problem post!
I noticed a small oil leak coming from inside the front sprocket cover and when I took it off it had all the hallmark signs of the gear selector cover gasket as described by an old post I found on the old tapatalk forum. Ordered a replacement gasket, removed the cover to which the old gasket split in multiple pieces. Found the oil leak I thought! Spent much time gently scraping and cleaning the contact surfaces ready for new gasket, installed new gasket and whipped it all back together. Aces I thought! Job done.... or so I thought.
Popped to local shops this afternoon for some groceries. No issues on the way there. On the way back however I am changing down from 60mph in 6th to 2nd gear to take a tight island and upon exiting the island the bike wont shift up into 3rd. Bugger. Tried to release and re-engage clutch and pre load the lever prior to shifting to no avail. Get the bike home and up onto the main stand, whip off the foot peg, sprocket cover and shift linkage. Nothing looks untoward. So I place the arm which goes on the selector shaft and try to shift the gearbox. 1st, up to 2nd. No 3rd.
So my question gents, seems like I've ballsed it up somehow but what I should I be looking for tomorrow when I get back in the garage? I'll have to order another gasket and get the cover off again but if there's nothing obviously out of place what should I be looking for?
As always, thanks for the help.
