Title: Bad Shift Forks??
Post by: Bharris on July 29, 2016, 09:57:26 AM
I am still trying to solve my gear shifting problem.

Very difficult to shift into the next gear - especially from 1st to 2nd, but also through the rest of the gears - 3rd is a bit easier than 2nd, 4th easier than 3rd.....I have to apply so much for to click into the next gear, that I was afraid of breaking something.

I have the cases split and am using this opportunity to rebuild.  I see nothing wrong in the transmission - at all.  The forks are the only possible cuprit.  See picture of the "R" fork - you can see that one side of the pad is worn just a bit more than the other.  You can also see the slightest bend in the arm (slight bend down as seen in picture 1).  

I can't imagine what would be causing this difficulty in shifting.  Prior to this sudden problem, my transmission was slippery like butter.
