Yep, sorry

So pics have to be posted thru a URL. It's not possible to post personal pics?

ah, ok. he was probably up on Luzon Island. yes it would of been good to meet him

Toby? nope

so what actually happens if the clutch pushrod is adjusted to much , the endfloat on the shaft disappears resulting in the shifting issue.

Call me an idiot or tell me "I told you so" and I wont be offended. In my quest to stop the clutch dragging and hopefully be able to select neutral at stand still, I adjusted the worm drive clutch rod adjuster just so there was virtually no end float on the push rod. Not screwed in tight, just...

the shift shaft is not frozen. It turns the shift drum but not all the way for it to engage gear. I have the bike on blocks rocking the wheel backwards and forwards when attempting to shift. Its mainly changing down from 3rd to 2nd. But only when its hot. Clutch in or out makes no difference...

Oh well. that didnt work. 20 min ride , engine heats up, cant change gear. Replaced the following Complete Clutch Clutch lever, cable, clutch mechanism in the Left engine cover Shift shaft EVERYTHING that can be seen once the clutch is removed, Complete gear cluster and bearings. The only...

yes its a sunday haunt for many

Ok. I just removed the bottom case half and inspected the middle fork cotter pin. It was in the correct way BUT I had replaced the cotter pin and not flattened the tail end of the cotter pin all the way flat against the shift fork. It was protruding probably about 1/16" or so out from where it...

the fact that the shifting problem only arises when the engine is hot leaves me to believe that something is binding due to heat expansion.

Cotter pin of middle shift fork. If backwards, will interfere with 3rd entry/exit. ( it selects good when cold) - Excessively worn shiftfork guidebar. ( I would of noticed and replaced this on assembly if needed) - Shiftfork guidebar inserted too deeply, not retained by the "C" stopper. (I've...
