[QUOTE="ehb86, post: 105708, member: 2113"] First off, thanks very much to everyone for great suggestions and such quick help. I'm going to try to answer questions in order. Robert, putting it together and getting them to settle in was kind of where I was headed. The layshaft is in correctly, I measured it on assembly after reading about that length difference in another thread here before I started assembling. I'm going to go check out the G9/G10 and G9/G7 mating per Greg's suggestion and if all is well there I think I'll reassemble and try running things in a bit. Also thanks for your generous offer of help. I would definitely take you up on that if I can't get it straightened out. Greg, thanks for that valuable insight. I'm going to be away from the bike for a few days. I will check the gear mating out when I'm back and report what I find. That sounds like a very likely culprit. It would fit with what is happening very well. Bill, thank you, I've tried it both ways, cover on it's the same result. Then I've pulled it off to switch out cam plates, etc. and ensure that I can get it to move through the gears with a little help. I've swapped pinions on the cam plates as well to be sure they weren't binding due to height differences, etc.. Thanks for the suggestion though and I'm sure you're correct, the plate takes care of shaft alignment and stiffness. Vibrac, thank you, I believe I've got it right but never hurts to double check..... a few times with me. Chankly, I will look at that as well. Thank you all... I will report back mid week after I've had a chance to check things out. Mark [/QUOTE]
