years and gears
thank you for your info S P Arnold my bike 1vj has got an f reg plate but i think it was made before/during 1988 so my sprockets could be correct i think the problem is my 5th gears because when i am increasing my speed steadily through the gears when i put it into 5th it is crunching/grinding (i thought this but was trying not to recognise it) lucky for me i have another bike i was rebuilding until i found out it is about three bikes put together but i rebuilt the gearbox because that would not go into third and i replaced all the gears with a good secondhand set but the wiring was a birds nest so i bought myself another bike but i should have took it on a longer test ride so that i might have heard the gear problem/clutch slippng/oil leaking from crack in casing but the more i learn the more i would spot these problems so i will put my other engine in and see how it performs and one day possibly rebuild my original one.Even though these things are a pain i am glad i have my bike i think they are great and i will keep plugging away at it even though i have only had it since oct 08 and only done about 6 hundred miles on it ,once it is sorted i will hopefully do some serious miles i will let you all know how i get on and thanks for all your responses.
