Gearbox problem after rebuild
 

Hi guys
Long story short, bought a 2006 EC300 last year that had power like a scooter. But thanks to this forum i changed the needle and some other things, and wow what a bike it turned out to be. Spent more time on the 300 than i did on my R1. Everything went well until the end of the summer when it seized both crankshaft bearings. Now i have rebuild the engine and changed every bearing and seals, but it has even more problem now..
The plan was to start it for the first time in a year tonight.

I can't shift. It is in gear but i dont know which, and nothing happens when i pull the lever.
I also noticed that the kick starter don't return to the normal position. When i lift the kick lever up i can hear it click. I can kick start the bike but need to manually move up the lever.
I checked the service manual and took the time to make everything right. At least i thougt so. Unfurtunately i must have missed something.
I have filled the engine with oil, but no oil in the clutch yet. Is it important to fill and bleed the clutch before i could change the gears?

Anyone with the same problem? It would be great if it could be solved without splitting the engine again 🙈

Thanks!

Problem solved. I had managed to not install the scorpion correctly on the axle. Now it shifts like it's supposed to do 😂

Good to hear, and presumably you have the kick starter spring would up correctly so the lever returns correctly? Just about to put my 07 back together shortly.

Now i have 🙈😂 i was so happy when i found the shifting problem so easy, that i forgot about the kick starter. I put everything together and started the bike, only to hear a rattling noise. Well well, put it on the side and pulled the cover and clutch again. I hope the gasket is good for one more 😂

Gaskets are always good for one more go.:cool:

Today we were out on a 70km ride, and wow what a blast it is. Besides the bearings and seals i also changed the piston and clutch. Now i can kick start it when it's in gear. It took a long time to get it running again but it was so worth it 😊
