Title: sloppy gear lever
Post by: stump magnet on October 01, 2012, 06:05:09 am

i have a bit of up and down movement at the gear lever (not worn splines) on the side pipe making it difficult to upshift without bashing my knee into my chin because i have to lift my foot so high! where might the wear be within the shifting mechanism? has been like this for ages its just not as crisp as my other cz's would it be posible to see anything with the cover removed?

right cured it! the return spring had opened up on the dowel, i removed the change gate, held down the gear lever then gently bent the spring down a bit to remove the slop, will replace the spring during off season as only two events left this year

Good fix. You couldn't do that on a jap bike... Or any other make for that matter!
