transmission

Hi everyone, finally got myself a Vmax after wanting one forever. :eusa_dance: I bought myself an 85 because it was the first year, and this one is really clean, and I got it for a good price. When buying it I knew that 2nd gear was dropping back into neutral, and figured I could fix it...

I thought I would post this just for interests sake, kinda off topic as these aren't Max gears but are basically similar. They are out of a racing Triumph and I just wanted to show the procedure in making them in detail as to give some insight as to what is involved and what to be aware of if...

Bike is some times hard to downshift and takes alot of lever effort to get it upshifted. It is a 2005 so I didnt know if I should check the assembly with the pins. My dad did lay it down going into a driveway that twisted my shift lever all up. I just dont know where to start. I went through...
