My Quaife five speed new install is overshifting consistently. This cannot be adjusted out as there is too much travel in the mechanism. There is no mention of this problem in the instructions that came with the gearkit.
I checked with John Mcdougall, who installed a Quaife in his Black Shadow about the same time I purchased my kit from Surtees Sports Power. John purchased his kit thru Kemps. His bike also overshifted with the Quaife, or rather would have, except a separate sheet detailing the use of two small parts dealt with the problem.
The parts are a ring that fits over the centre peg of the G49 and a new larger diameter stop pin for G66.
I have checked with Quaife and waited for a response, however the lady who takes all calls does not know anything about this and forgot to take my question up with someone who might.
In searching the internet I did find an old MPH article that discusses use of the small alloy ring and the new, larger diameter stop pin for G66. Clearly these parts are needed for my setup. I am thinking the easiest might be to make them. Does anyone have dimensions for them, or even just the diameter.
I suspect that the extra instruction sheet and two little parts that were missing from my kit but present in John's kit may be something that Kemp's have learned to include but Surtees has not.
