Removing the Shift Shaft Assembly

You only need to remove the stopper lever bolt to get everything out. You do not need to remove the spring stopper stud or any circlips.

Tip: Put the following in a labeled sandwich bag:

Shift-shaft assembly
Stopper lever
Stopper lever bolt
Stopper lever spring

failure of gears to engage
Written by jahedun, on 04-06-2011 17:56
I have an intermitant problem while going through the gear shifting sequence of the gears
failing to engage. It only happens occasionally and is not specific to any one particular gear.
While engaged in gear the bike runs smoothly and there is no chatter or unusual noise. I
have made adjustments on the clutch cable and shift linkage with no change to the problem.
Has anyone besides me experianced this problem on their roadstar? Mine is a 2001 with 24k miles.

Pickup coil

On page three of this section, the pickup rotor is mis-labeled as the pickup coil and referred to in the article below as the pickup coil.
The pickup coil is an electronic device wired and screwed to the inside of the crankcase cover. It senses the position of the crankshaft-mounted pickup rotor for ignition timing.
Great article! I'm reading through it to familiarize myself with the engine.
