Less than $200!

Going to Iron Pony today to pick up the new circlip I ordered (#31 on durk's diagram). The old one is staying in place, but for $2, a new one is cheap insurance. Only problem is, picking up a $2 part at IP will probably cost me $200 before I can drag myself out the door! 😮

Too soon?

Got it fixed! First I planned to pull the oil pan which meant draining the oil that had less than 50 minutes on it. Then I had to remove the exhaust and the lines to the oil cooler before the pan came off. The only useful thing I could see up there was that the part I needed to access was in the clutch compartment. So now on to removing the clutch cover and clutch basket. I probably could have realigned the shift shaft gear without removing the clutch but, WTH, I'm already this far... After removing everything, it was a simple job to align the shifter end and spring. Shifting seemed like Iike it was good, so I put it all back together. New oil and a ride around the neighborhood confirmed that it's fixed!
