Hello,
I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now and decided to tackle my own gear repair!
I have several bikes and have been tinkering with bikes for a couple of years, never done anything more than basic engine removal and replacing brakes, basic maint. and such, never cracked a case or done any internal engine repair.
I thought I would try the 2nd gear repair myself as a noobie and document for all the other noobs that may want to try.
I want to split the case and just take the bottom off and replace second gear.
The engine has low miles and PO took very good care of bike, this is why I want to do this from the bottom.
What should I watch out for, if anything when splitting the case upside down?
I have built a engine stand and plan on pulling the top off and leaving the bottom crank case on the stand.
Do I need to release the cam chain to pull the top off?
I hoped all the other gears will stay in place .
If anybody has any tips or suggestions, many thanks.
