2021 rocket3 GT
following a fall at low speed ( under 10 mph) the rocke3 gt 2021 fell on its left side shearing the mounting of footpeg with gear shifter off the engine block causing the gear to be stuck in gear do not know which gear to make a long story short I have removed the engine from the bike flipped it upside down removed the bottom oil pan unbolted the next engine block to get to the gear shifting mechanical drum, but.. I seems to be missing something I believe I have unbolted everything that looked like a bolt but nothing is budging am I missing something has any one done that removal to get to the gear shifting drum,
after the crash I could not change gear yet the vertical inner shaft attached to the foot pedal and rising to the drum that actually change gears seems straight it is also removed . the engine is naturally upside down on a bench ,bottom pan removed I now have to remove the next engine subcase part between bottom and piston block and that is where I am stuck I unbolted every bolts I could see but i cannot move that part off and that is where the gear shifting drum is . has somebody done this before please let me know if I cannot figure out how to fix the problem my rocket will be become just another pile of parts for sale
 
Howdy, Patrick!
I see you be off on another intrepid Rocket engine rebuild.
A mechanical juggernaut you be - in spades!

Congrats.jpg
I hope we get to hook up this season. I'm heading out June 14 thru July 22 or so on a big ride.
Any other time, let me know when you are available.
Best fortune on your new entry into the 2.5 bowels!
 
Patrick,
I just saw you got a lot of response to this thread. Guess the 2.5s are still new enough that not many engine builds have happened?
Hope you are diong well and making progress on the 2.5.
