Hayabusa Gearbox - the fixed model

[Madmax]

The pictures of the event tell their own story, to get the gear selector cover off so I could get the washer back where it should have been we had to remove:

both fairings, overflow reservoir, front sprocket cover, water pump, front sprocket, all the bolts holding the selector cover on and then to get at the last bolt at the bottom right of the selector cover, loosen all engine mounts, air box, and get the jack going again -then with all the above loosened using a large and very long screwdriver, lever the whole rear of the f*&^ing motor up to get a T bar onto the remaining bolt and remove it. The frame gets in the way of removing the last bolt, the way to avoid this in the future - shorten the bolt about 5 mms while it is out. When removing the gear selector cover make sure you have something to catch the litre or so of oil that spews out!+

All this to get this washer back to where it belongs on the gear selector shaft!


The little bolt hidden by the side stand mount - part of the frame.


The bolt - too long to get out without lifting the whole motor.


The shift shaft as it came out


The shift shaft as it should have looked and when it went back in.


The black beast back together.
