Refitting the gear selector lever
Position the gearbox drum selector fork in the centre of the gear rollers.
Position the gear selector lever (3) together with control shaft, spring and plate into the chain-side crankcase half.
Insert the screws (1) and (2) with the spacer (4).
Temporarily fit gear change lever (or a service lever) and engine pinion and shift to neutral gear.
Place the tool (A) part no. 88713.3334 on the gear ratchet.
Insert tool (A) part no. 88713.3334 with a service pin (E) into the tool hole, block the pin (F) of the tool in the gear ratchet pressing with the hand in the point (G) (ratchet stroke stop plate) to the right, as shown in the picture.
In this position, tighten the retaining screw (1) to a torque of 36 Nm (Min. 34 Nm - Max. 38 Nm) and screw (2) to 16 Nm (Min. 15 Nm - Max. 17 Nm).
Warning
Make sure that the gear selector lever fixing screws are those indicated in our spare parts catalogue. They must be screws of class 12.9 in order to respect the tightening torque indicated above.
Start tightening the first screw (1), and continue with screw (2).
Remove service tool.
Check that the pin (H) placed on the gear drum is axially to the notch (L) on the gear claw (with gear in neutral).
With the gearbox in neutral, check that the lever travel is the same when shifting up and down. The same should apply when a gear is engaged.
Operate the gearchange lever and turn the front sprocket at the same time to check that all the gears engage when shifting up and down.
Remove the previously installed lever and sprocket.
