If above adjustments do not correct trouble, disassemble and repair as described in repair sections. See ’’Locating Operating Troubles," Section 1C, for aids to diagnosing trouble. It is not necessary to remove transmission from chassis to disassemble clutch, starter, main drive gear oil seal or clutch release mechanism. However, extensive repairs are often easier and more quickly made if transmission unit is removed to bench as described in following section, "Stripping Motorcycle for Transmission Repair." The transmission can be removed as a unit (including clutch), or each component individually.

STRIPPING MOTORCYCLE FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR

2. Remove left footboard and studs.

3. Remove outer chain guard.

4. If motorcycle is equipped with compensating sprocket, use Compensating Sprocket Shaft Nut Wrench, Part No. 94557-55, to remove compensating sprocket shaft nut. If not equipped with compensating sprocket, use Crank Pin Nut Wrench, Part No. 94545-26, to remove sprocket nut. It will be necessary to strike wrench handle with mallet to loosen nut. Free sprocket from shaft taper by striking flat surface near outer edge a light but sharp rap with

soft metal mallet. Do not strike sprocket teeth or sprocket shaft threads. Sprocket and primary chain are then free to be removed.

5. Remove cotter pin, nut, flat washer and spring from each of the two inner chain guard rear mounting bolts. Bend back the ears of screw lock away from the three cap screws around the engine sprocket shaft that secure the front end of inner chain guard to engine crankcase, and remove cap screws and lock. Remove oil drain pipe from inner chain guard.

6. Disconnect shifter rod from transmission lever by removing nut and bolt.
