Re: Gear selection trouble

sorry if i'm being dumb, but are you sure you mean lay it down on its left side?
is the clutch / gear assembly not on the left hand side?

I'm not trying to catch you out, i'm just checking

Re: Gear selection trouble

Great thanks for the advise, one more question, i presume it would be a good idea to order a gasket before i start? as i imagine there's a gasket between the cover. And also just to check, do i need to drain the oil before i remove the cover? or is it only necessary if i'm actually going to replace it

Re: Gear selection trouble

I just need to have a look i guess
Is it easy to strip it down far enough to check the detent spring / arm?

as i'm sure you can tell i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing having not owned my bike for long or had experience with mechanics.

Re: Gear selection trouble

Hmmm doesn't seem like clutch slipping, i thought the usual sign for this is when you're in gear and rev, the revs go up and and speed doesn't. Meaning the clutch is still partly engaged when it shouldn't be?

Gear selection trouble

right tried this over at 400greybike and the general thought is that its a strip down the motor job, but i figured i'd get a second opinion on it before i do more harm than good. Here's the problem anyway... having a bit of trouble selecting gears sometimes, this happens more frequently when the bik...

Re: Newbie question about restriction

Just thought i'd update I took the fairing off yesterday and found an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and now the rev limit has gone up to around 15k 112mph restriction is of course back, but i'm still on the look out for the m-max, kph to mph converter or the device a user on here was going to ...

Re: Newbie question about restriction

Hello again, just thought i'd update had no luck finding an M-Max or similar and i was just wondering if someone could enlighten me on a few things does the TCI "remember" anything, like if the clocks were butchered a year ago, causing the 12.5k RPM restriction or does it check the speedo everytime ...

Re: Newbie question about restriction

I need to update my profile, only registered on here about 2 days ago so not done it yet
i would buy from abroad so long as the price was right, as obviously i've got to bare postage in mind

Re: Newbie question about restriction

Is it contained within the clocks? as thats why i'm asking, as there's a set ending on ebay here for £1 later tonight, if that could sort it i might go for it

Re: Newbie question about restriction

Thanks for the reply, i'm aware that the jap restriction is only for the top speed however according to other users on 400greybike, apparently when using the manual method of de-restricting the top end, if something is done wrong inside the clocks it can cause the bike to be restricted to 12,500rpm ...
