Homemade?

Simon. You're earlier query regarding the 'stopper arm' on the clutch side is not without foundation. All that's been said regarding setting the lever arm correctly is valid, but the 'stopper arm' can gall on its pivot, slowing its action and intermittently preventing it from doing its job. This is often overlooked in the belief that all selection problems stem from lever am adjustment. It's worth checking for smooth operation.

Very true Andy, but there isn't anything on the clutch side of the engine to influence gear selection per se.

You must be running a different engine to me then Phil? I am referring to the Gear Stopper Assy (Ducati's description), which is definitely in the clutch side in my engine. If this gets too stiff, or indeed the spring breaks or weakens, the drum can over rotate by 'beating' the positive stop on the lever arm.

I'll have to discuss this with you face to face as I can't recall anything in the right hand clutch housing that affects the selector mech. Its that fkin Desmosedici you have in yours you are thinking of.

Steve's right Phil. This is the reason for the 1mm spacer on the wet to dry clutch conversion.

Bugger, of all the ones I've had apart I didn't recall that cam roller. Feel dutifully arse raped now.

Thanks for the pic Neil. Oh and the Pikey won't be best pleased you calling him Steve either.

I'm okay with Steve. It's my middle name. Anyway, beats what the wife calls me most of the time.

Flipping heck this isnt easy! Well I've checked that the line / mark thats centrally between the two claws is aligned with the drum pins ( in second gear initially then all the test of the gears) and everything seemed okay. Selections aren't 100% but ghost had advised me the gear changes are best confirmed when moving. I guess my problem must be something else.
