Anyone Experienced in changing dodgy 5th gear?
Ok. I'm heading to the HU well of knowledge once again. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide solid info on topic discussed below.
This winter I have been undertaking a complete tear down of my 43F (for europeans) Plain old xt600 1986 for us N. Americans. I have been communicating with Dave Lambeth about this project. The problem is I just got an email from Dave saying he is out of contact for a month due to being in africa at the Tuareg Rally. Fair enough, can't deny anyone out having fun!
The problem is I don't know what parts I need to upgrade the 5th gear as often mentioned here.
Is there anyone who knows exactly what parts, and Part#'s, I need to do this job? Some helpful directions to steer me along in the replacement would be of benifit too. I do have the Clymer manual and have disassembled the motor to the bare cases at this point. I seem to recall that the bits needed are standard Yamaha bits, just from a later model?
It's going to kill me to have to wait a month to get parts! Not only that but there are engine parts strewn all about the house. It's best for all in this household if I get to this project promptly.
Many thanks,
Pawlie
