And tennis elbow I have never had a scooter jump out gear, well maybe a vespa.sean brady scooters wrote:surely the stronger springs do what they are supposed to do and that is to help prevent gears jumping out ,and to provide a better /more positive selection.
although they may seem somewhat difficult at first,time and use will tame these....
MB gear selector spring
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!

i,ve had quite a few (indeed lots) of "indian "new engines suffer from the jumping out of gear prob...
and thats just std ones
imagine how worse that is ,when they are tuned....?
its just now one of those many things that i change and uprate now as a matter of course .

All I can say is the springs can be harder to change gear but as Mark/ ian (sleeping partner) says a lot is to do with the nylon line and routing.
The main basterd thing is getting the Fin balls in without them twanging all over the place
Ps Im not in bed with Broady
