Steve S Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The travel of the selector arm in both directions is adjusted with the eccentric adjuster, I’ve seen cases where the arm travel hits the inside of the casing which causes false neutrals, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 I thinking this is beyond what I might do on the garage floor. I don't want to ride it, so to prevent further damage. I might be able to get to the shop in a month or so once the wife is mobile. Thanks for your help. I'll let you all know how it shakes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzler Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Do let us know mate... Mine was sorted years ago as the bike was serviced by Brad Black and hasn't missed a beat since. Probably will now that I've mentioned it eh! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I noticed is that the pivot nut (about 2 o'clock from the red circle) is loose as hech with a lot of play. It appears the nut screws into a pin that attached the adjustable screw arm to the pivot arm below. The problem I'm having, the pin just turns with the nut and there's nothing to garb on the back of the pin. The only way to get behind it is move the lever in the upshift position but there is still nothing to grab the back since it seems to be a smooth pinhead. Perhaps it's supposed to have this much slack? and I should mess with something else? OK, looking at Harper's diagram, I see it's a screw and appears to be an allen head. So perhaps I can get an all wrench to hold it while I tighten the nut? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps I can get an all wrench to hold it while I tighten the nut? It is an eccentric adjuster pin with a flat blade slot under a dome head lock nut. The way to adjust it correctly is to remove the cover and do it on the bench. Any other way risks the shifting issues you already have. You may need to remove the cover and stop the pin from rotating as you turn the locknut. Get your big boy pants on and dive in and remove the cover.

LowRyter Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 It's too late, I've burned up the bike. I'm now a former V11 rider. I took off the starter. Unfortunately, I only unhooked the battery ground. The hot starter wire grounded on the shock adjuster when I was working on it. I smelled fire and got it free but too late. The electrics are dead. Totally. Fuses are ok but there's melted insulation under the side cover. So far as the shifter, I was able to get the adjuster off and backed it with an allen head and tighten it. Have no idea about that. Believe me, I'm sick about it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 I didn't think it would be hot with the key off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
