Has anybody fitted the cyclone box and not been able to see under the gearbox endplate to check that 5th gear lines up properly.
Can't get my fingers under and can't tell with a small screwdriver.
While I'm on I'll take it you don't leave the shim on the top of the cluster when doing the final build , or do you ?

Cheers in advance

I think some have used IPhones to take a picture. Stuart Own who fitted mine has a telescopic lense with a viewing screen (proper name escapes me).

unless you have freakishly long fingers that bend backwards you cant feel the cogs, but as the manual states if you have a smart phone set it to movie and its slips down the gap a treat and you can check that way, and yes the cluster shim is on the top of the cluster, not the bottom as in four speeds, good luck, its totally worth the hassle of fitting, paying and waiting!!

Jesus, now you need a smartphone to fit a gearbox :shock: :shock:

Think I'll have to get the VFM boys to set up webcams at the rallies so I can watch it all online from now on :lol: :lol: :lol:

PLEASE NOTE: That was sarcasm in case any comedy mods see this and take it forward as a viable alternative to even bothering to van their scooters to rallies!!

Hey Donnie what's your beef with the Cyclone box? That's your second post putting it down. Have you even tried one yet?
