I also followed the instructions to the letter from the manual and still was/am having great difficulty selecting all the gears easily and reliably. Haven’t got the bike on the road yet this year but if I’m still not able to select said gears correctly I’m going to try your different method. So many thanks for taking the trouble to make, explain and upload a video of your method 👍👍👍
Thanks for the comment. I hope it works for you, I ended up replacing the main shaft and layshaft, so had it all apart again and indexed again firsttime. Fingers 🤞 for you.
Hello; at about minute 3:00 is what I think your indexing problem is: You should place it in first gear the camplate then put the inner cover. BUT if you have a 79 with the neutral switch, you just let the camplate in N and put the switch pointer in place and just that. Regarding missing gear changes; well; if the parts are not worn out possibly you misplaced the round parts of the forks that are into the camplate grooves
Hi; this clip popped up again; so what about the N switch? Do you have continuity on the switch in neutral notch? Or have the N light on? Sometimes shift all gears but the N protrusion there is not doing "earth"
Thank you
Never done it before but will follow your lead
