[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 425912, member: 665"] This topic may need a thread of its own? -- but, since it's been broached (here) I'd like to add some salient points. [LIST][*]When no part (gears and shafts) of the gearbox is turning it can (sometimes) be difficult, if not impossible, to change from one gear to another. [*]You may get the shift fork (by way of shift lever rotating the shift drum) to disengage from one gear -- but, yet, not engage with the next gear. [*]Put you right and left hands together (opposing) and touch you fingertips -- and push. That can be what it's like. Rotate one hand a few degrees and you'll get a sense of what it's like for gear 'dogs' to engage. [*]The human foot may not be the best device for the delicate task of shifting m/c transmission gears? [/LIST] So, whenever shifting a motorcycle g/box (constant-mesh type) have something turning -- either the engine running (rotating the primary shaft); or the rear wheel turning (rotating the secondary or layshaft). Ideally, both. [/QUOTE]
