i had a main bearing creep out on mine.....the motor had only done about 5,000 miles from a rebuild.....i think it could of been the dyno set up that did it.....was enough to make the crank rumble....

Yep, rounded dogs pushed over the selector fork breaking it in the process which not only allowed a false neutral but allowed the gear to carry past and select two gears at once 
A mint gearbox for sale is very rarely what the owner thinks it is, to the untrained eye a rounded dog looks normal |

Cases cleaned and all the oil jets, plugs etc re-fitted, crank now wearing another set of rods c/w new black shells, new oil pump installed. Four gearbox bearings and one cam drive shaft bearing on order.
Replaced the bent cam drive shaft.
Just sorting out a decent gearbox cluster from my spares now 
Soon have the bottom end together then next to sort out a replacement set of barrels and TLR pistons from "stock" Check and machine the barrels for tighter squish whilst we're there and also use my new cam jig to dial the Kent SUZ-20 cams in after re-cutting the valve seats 
Then I've got another one to do |
