Me again

I have the barrels back on, but prior too going too far, I thought it might be a good idea to check the gearchange worked. I get first, and back to neutral, but that's it.

Whipping the sump off to gain access I see this



It all seems to be in the right place, but the lower selector in the picture doesn't fully disengage the gear.

I have taken out the selector rod, and placed the selector in the track, but as you can see, it won't now engage in the selector drum.





Have I done something really stupid here?

they only go up box when running.

you cannot engage 2nd gear without the gearbox spinning there are 3 x ball bearings in the gear which centrifugal out when the bike is moving

FFS !!

I didn't know that.

Thanks guys, I'll go and put it all back together again then

a few have panicked when the bike is all together and they couldnt engage gears, always a worrying moment if you dont know.

I bet they didn't spend most of the day taking bits off, then turning the bike upside down so they could get at it

One of my Z1A's has it removed!!

Back together



Allez - up



That'll teach me to read the workshop manual
