Title: 2nd gear issue and solving
Post by: JEFF1970 on July 09, 2020, 12:20:26 PM
hi guys im chuffed to be allowed on this forum,Youve all probably had an issue with the second gear on your bikes ive just had an fj1100 1985 that seems to be part of the knackered second gear gang.
What I want to know is if I take the engine out turn it upside down can the job be successfully done like that ? and also where can I get the replacement gears /shims etc,
the bike is red and white and could do with a freshen up so where can I find the colour codes for the red and white ,
thanx guys,
jeff
