[QUOTE="tonythecat, post: 5266, member: 110"] You are right Stuart, pipes off, kick-start off,gear lever off,gear indicator off,kick-start cover off, whilst removing the cover put some inboard pressure on the gear change shaft to keep it in place. When the cover is off locate the sprag clutch which is inside ES10AS, on the outboard of the gearbox mainshaft, this is held on by a circlip type clip ESV5. (I can't remember if you need to remove the Kick-start quadrant, or maybe just manoeuvre the gear linkage out of the way)Separate the sprag clutch from the gear (it just pulls apart) clean out and re-grease, note you need SPECIAL GREASE, if you need some send me a pm. On re-assembly be careful not to damage the fine rubber type oil-seal inside the clutch, feed it in gently using something like a very small probe or screwdriver, back onto the shaft, replace the circlip, re-assemble the rest. Do you have a copy of the manual? if not I can send you one, or alternately contact Francois himself, he is a great guy and really helpful. I went to see him a couple of weeks ago, if you get the chance pay him a visit, his wife Catherine does an excellent B&B. I don't think I have missed anything, if I have perhaps Trevor will contribute, as he is the undoubted UK expert. Ride Safe Tony [/QUOTE]
