Re: Replaced clutch now tranny won't shift into gear

DANG! Think I scared R100Rogue away. Not my fault. It's my OCD conflicting with my ADHD. There is no cure, sorry.

Re: Replaced clutch now tranny won't shift into gear

My hitting the puller, driving the shaft further forward in the case damaged the "protection plate" and caused the shifting problem. Not sure which type of puller you used and exactly what happened, but maybe your puller was not up to the job. I've literally removed hundreds of these flan...

thread hijack (oops!)

I still think that your sideview mirror motor adapted to your headlight is genius! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agz6NdvqQTE Since this video I wrapped the headlight surround with (hopefully permanent) charcoal metallic wrap because this area if painted is always getting stone chipped.

If so, the "protection plate" (part number 23 12 1 230 075) could get damaged and cause gear misalignment causing 2 gears to be engaged simultaneously, which will lock it up.
Could you please elaborate? This does not compute.

Re: Replaced clutch now tranny won't shift into gear

Not enough info to really help... Why was the clutch replaced ? Was the transmission shifting OK before you replaced the clutch? If the transmission WAS shifting OK before you replaced the clutch, put everything back together and it will shift as before. It's normal for the output flange to spin in ...

Re: Removing a bosch starter motor.

The ratchet type I was referring to is on the left. It's much thinner and has a small lever to change directions instead of the cumbersome knob to turn (like the one on the right). This 'lever' type is a lot thinner, and its direction can easily be changed one-handed with the flick of a thumb when b...

Re: Removing a bosch starter motor.

My Snap-On 1/4" drive ratchet + socket combo works perfectly in there. It's part of my under seat tool kit. The Snap-On ratchet head is relatively small and its handle is quite thin. It only requires a very small angle of rotation to reach the next 'click' so you can back the bolt out one click...

Re: Unable to get neutral when hot - cause found

... when hot it became impossible to get neutral... ... when hot , and with the clutch pulled fully in, the bike wanted to move forward. ...I think some weird thing was happening with the diaphragm and the rod, but only when very hot . Obviously a heat related issue. I've dodged a lot of surgery wh...
