Floppy Shifter, Not Good

[Rocket Scientist]

Might just be the lighting but the rear bearing lools like the cage spacing is different and I think the bearing is going away
I'd renew both of them.

Good eye Scott, is does look like the race is coming apart. Do you agree the front bearing is in wrong ?

Yes the front is in arse backwards. Once he splits her we will see what is on the shaft for second gear.

I'm going to look at that rear bearing tomorrow now too. My initial impression was it rolled smoothly, no play, no binding. Of course no load or RPM's either. As for the backwards bearing, I've seen the examples and mine follows, however, the hole in the cavity isn't part of a pressurized oil galley as it passes right through into the transmission cavity. I'm not a Triumph engineer, thank God, but it provides no more lubrication than just splash lubrication, I'd think even less compared to how the bearing is situated now. I maybe starting fights with that one.

You should look closer that is oil fed ask yourself how the torsional shaft gets oil fed inside it so the spline bushinging can slide when the spring is loaded. Off to church I'll check back.

No oil galley hole. The entire torsional dampner assembly also has no galley. All splash lubricated. The hole in the cavity is a pass through.

The elders would beg to differ ;

 

[DQDude]

I agree to that and can follow the galley through journals and machined shafts, the opposite side of the hole is a bearing. I haven't looked on that shaft since i am not removing it, i am assuming its exit is what will be feeding the cavity for the torsional bearing. I'm sold.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

By the front torsional bearing being in backwards, it's seal effectively isolates it from pressurized oil. Then it has to rely on splash oil. How many miles are on this bike ?

Bought it in September with 12k, I'm at 16k now

My 2005 got to 21,000,ish and put the rear bearings and its cages in tiny bits into my sump this year
