lineaway Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 If you are lucky, it will just be the top hat & spring that sit at the end of the shaft. You have to remove the clutch basket to get to it. If not you will have to split the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbrow Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) On the end of the gear lever shaft there are two spring loaded rollers that engage with the selector drum and rotate it in either direction. You've broken the little spring on one of these so the drum will only turn one way - into first gear and no further. I have a nasty feeling it could be a motor out, cases split job but perhaps its possible to withdraw the gear lever shaft from inside the clutch case? No doubt someone will come along later who knows for sure. Edited April 5, 2010 by Lowbrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better pray it is the top hat, but I am tempted to agree with Lowbrow that a full job is needed. -Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitracing Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 You need to split it, its only a couple of hour job, they are dead easy to do, there's nothing to a trial bike engine, the only thing that may be a bit of a prob is the flywheel, if you have'nt got a puller, just give it a good clout on the side with a cooper hammer that will break the taper, the rest is really stright forward.

baldilocks Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 watch the video on the Gas Gas USa site, its also on youtube search under Gas Gas Pro it takes you through splitting the motor step by step, really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
