If you have a GS500 a least.
Riding home yesterday, I found the gear change was a little interesting. By the time I got home there was no gear change and the lever was dangaling off...
The upshot was that the gear lever splines on selector shaft had stripped totally!! This is a new selector shaft. Luckily not a massive job to fit but a pain in the ar5e none the less plus the £££ to buy a new one.
Check your gear lever is tight....
A big hats off to Fowlers Spares Department.
Ordered the Linkage on friday afternoon and it arrived saturday morning. Top service!!
Just have to fit it now......
Happens to our 500's all the time. GS's ain't what they used to be. Spanish build quality (or lack of)... ::)
Changing the shaft is easy enough.... just need to change the clutch now as it is nearly shot!
Have noticed the slightly patchy build quality.... :P
This happened to me on my Deauville but it was simply the bolt had worked loose and it slipped off so I just had to pop it back on and tighten up
