Inspection of Counter Gear

1. INSPECT FIFTH GEAR CLEARANCE
a. Install the spacer, counter 5th gear and needle roller bearings.
b. Using a dial indicator, measure the counter 5th gear oil clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.015 - 0.068 mm (0.006 - 0.0027 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.16 mm (0.0063 in.)

If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the gear, bearing or shaft.




2. REMOVE HUB SLEEVE NO.3 SHIFTING KEYS AND SPRINGS FROM COUNTER 5TH GEAR
Using a screwdriver, remove the three shifting keys and two springs from counter 5th gear.




3. INSPECT COUNTER GEAR
Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the counter gear journal.

Minimum diameter: 27.860 mm (1.0968 in.)

If the outer diameter exceeds minimum, replace the counter gear assembly.
4. INSPECT SYNCHRONIZER RINGS




a. Check wear or damage.
b. Turn the ring and push it in to check the braking action.




c. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring back and the gear spline end.

Standard clearance: 0.8 - 1.6 mm (0.031 - 0.063 in.)
Minimum clearance: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)

If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchronizer ring.




5. INSPECT CLEARANCE OF SHIFT FORKS AND HUB SLEEVES
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub sleeve and shift fork.

Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)

If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift fork or hub sleeve.




6. INSTALL HUB SLEEVE NO.3 SHIFTING KEYS AND SPRINGS TO COUNTER 5TH GEAR
a. Install the counter 5th gear and shifting keys to the hub sleeve.
b. Install the shifting key springs under the shifting keys.

NOTE: Install the key springs positioned so that their end gaps are not in line.
