Hi all - I own a '04 Ballabio it has been a pleasure to ride - although not without the standard guzzi hicupps. Recently the pawl spring in the gearbox selector broke. So...
I am not very good mechanicaly but I thought that I would give things a go and replace pawl spring. I have done this and now reassembeld the selector, it looks as though it is all aligned and set up correctly and operates correctly.
My problem when the spring broke my ballabio was stuck in 2nd or 3rd, I could not shift it at all to find neutral so I took the selector assembly of with the gear box in gear. My plan was to select neutral by sliding the forks in the gearbox into position before reassembly. The major flaw in my plan is that i don't know where the forks should go! (I assumed that the position would be obvious or that there would be some alignment marks) How can I tell if the bike is in neutral or if it is in between gears?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
