I don’t know if any of you have a carry-on when assembling crankcases together. Trying to get the selector forks in the right grooves, trying to push them into place while one handedly holding the cases apart, all the time bearing in mind, the sealant is ‘going off’?
Well. I wondered if it could be made easier?
What I did was, remove the gear change shaft, (no need to pull it out completely, just disengage it from the selector drum pinion). Remove the selector fork shaft lock plate, shaft and selector forks Drop the forks into their correct position, in the upper case clusters. Put the cases together. Then, it’s a simple matter of lining up the forks, through the sump, from right to left individually, and sliding the shaft in gently, remembering to place the selector drum in the neutral position.
Ten times easier (for me, at least).
