Title: Gear shift return spring
Post by: Poultoniain on Wednesday, 23 March 2022, 05:48 PM
Morning all, has anyone had to replace their gear shift return spring?
How big a job is it?
Thanks very much in advance

Never heard of one needing replaced before .
What are the symptoms of the problem as it might just be something alot more simple to fix .
:cheers:

Not on a Suzuki but had to change one on my MZ, it's a simple job but as Seth asks what are the symptoms?

37 years ago, spent 3 months rebuilding 900 Bevel Motor. I was the fussiest ive ever been on a rebuild, just decided to be perfect. First ride, that bloody return spring broke, maybe 2ks. When i went to Ducati Queensland shop, told me they never break, first one they ever sold. LHS apart to fit $2 part.

You need to remove the Motor from the frame,  :facepalm: turn it over   :doh: and it's a piece of cake  :cheers: :cheers:
