i bought the nylon lined cables from MB and routed them correctly as the bike was being built from scratch ,Ian Hepworth wrote:From Mark:
Lets put it this way, I could, if I really wanted, go from 1st to 4th or 5th in one go on my engines and both are fitted with a MB selector spring. I can also pull my clutch levers in with one finger if I want.
We had one racer bring his newly built custom looking race bike for dynoing, after 5 attempts to find 3rd gear and a chipped 2nd gear, we routed his nylon cables whilst he watched how to do it correctly, then suddenly we could dyno all day long and find the gear we wanted!
I suggest you all go back to basics and learn to set cables and linkages up correctly instead of blaming a £1.80 spring of which will stop kangaroo jumping gears even on worn gears! Certainly cheaper than a new gearbox!
after my newly built engine " by ralph saxelby " starten to jump out of gear i fited an uprated spring from MB ,
as i seid before me and my mate could hardley change gear ,, so fitted a normal one ,, the gears were fine after that
the cables didnt magicaly re rout themselves so how do you explain them being too stiff with the MB spring ?
im not knocking MB parts as i swear by them but dont tell me that the spring dosnt make it harder to change gear ,
and dont tell me i need to learn how to set gears up ,
thats the last i will say on this as i cant be arsed arguing with you over it ,,,,, end of
