Question - have you ever had to close the gap on that spring? My new Andover spring has to much gap, and the bike won't come out of 4th. If so did you use any heat? I put the old spring back in for now, works fine. Great videos thanks.
I've never had a spring that's too loose/wide. Every new spring I've used has been too tight and required opening out a little - yours is the first I've heard of being too wide. 🤔
Greetings from Wisconsin, and thanks for the timely video! I recently removed the outer cover on my '73 750 Roadster just for the purpose of fixing an oil leak from the kickstart shaft. I had on hand a new gasket and O-rings. But that hairpin spring was especially worn from rubbing against the pawl carrier for half a century, so I ordered both springs from Andover. The hairpin spring came tight, so I adjusted it. All is well now, no oil leak, and it shifts like it should 😊
