Drive Shaft

[r3badboy]

It would be faster to pull the clutch cover and take the clutch bolts loose on the clutch hub and pry the plates apart than pulling the swingarm off. Just my thoughts.

Got it on the trailer & back home now, will update when I get to work on it

Did you roll it onto the trailer or air lift it?

Rolled it, it had a flat tyer & 2 broken shocks. I took wheel off one of my rockets & 2 spare shocks with me, just in case, changed them over & put cable ties on the clutch. Couldn't get it out of gear as the leaver on the gear change shaft was a bit stripped but shaft seems ok. Had to rock it a bit to free up clutch as well.

like said no
possible to get into neutral
hold clutch in with plastic tie
from memory you could pull the wheel and remove the splined hub from the wheel
hth

I have not done that, to make it a roller, but i have learned something that i have not thought of yet, thanks, those nuts are a pain to remove but i believe your suggestion is quicker and easier than removing swingarm then reassembly without the shaft, pull the wheel hub, thanks for chiming in! Old dudes got more tricks than a nevermind.

Update: Engine turns over, took the plugs out to make it easier (had been burning nicely). Took Plenium off & looked through throttle boddies at valves, they look brand new on top, no blackening at all. Will put an endoscope into spark plug holes tomorrow.
Gearbox: it's stuck in gear. The gear leaver is spring loaded & moves up & down but comes to a solid stop each way & that's while turning the back wheel by hand. With clutch in (there is spring load tension) it stays in gear also turning back wheel.
Not sure if it's a clutch problem or I'm going to have to split case's. I cannot hear any grinding or other noise coming from gearbox when turning back wheel.

If you look at shifter shaft as it pokes out of crankcase, does it appear that shaft was driven into cases.....if so i can warn you of things to inspect when you get cases split.....

No, there's no evidence of that would of happened, there is slight movement back a forth but seems normal to me
