Well - just a quick query, I have a freshly rebuilt gearbox for my P11 - rebuilt by a mechanic i trust who works on Nortons (and knows more than me!).
All installed and in the frame, but when I try to flick through the gears I get a mixture of:
- hard shift (new box, hasn't been run yet - assume it will loosen up with use);
- no gear (ie I can move the shifter around but there is no resistance - but it will come back after working it round a bit); or
- working properly....
Any ideas on common causes of something like this? Clutch is working
The bike has not yet been fired and run since being taken apart - and the engine and box are both freshly rebuilt.
There is oil in both.
Also, does anyone know the thread on the bolt that holds the gear indicator in?
