[QUOTE="Michael Vane-Hunt, post: 55233, member: 1067"] I struggled with my bike not shifting properly. I endlessly fiddled with the shift mechanism under the kick start cover. Finally after listening to some people at a recent rally I changed my focus to the clutch. Took it all apart then ordered new relined shoes, new c14 pins, new c15 sleeves, new c9 link pins and new c16 spacers from the VOCS. All the parts I replaced were probably with the bike since new. The clutch shoes come complete with plungers. I put this pile of bits back together, paying attention to get the correct end float and I also put a single flat washer on the c14 pins behind the c21 inner clutch plate. This transformed my shifting, making first and neutral easy to find, no grunching when putting into first and good shifting up and down. This is the first time in 30,000 miles that my bike has shifted well, and for some reason seems to start more easily. Mike [/QUOTE]
