    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 transmission question...

We're working on a GS1150 and while its apart we wanted to be sure everything was ok before putting it back together. We noticed this "dog" looked worn... or maybe its supposted to look like this... maybe someone can look at these pics and let me know if they look ok. Also, is there anything else that I should check while Im in there?

Instead of reading through the pages of responses to this (lol), we decided to replace the gear to be on the safe side. We didn't want to have to pull it all apart again.

I guess no one knows the answer
eh? To me the little cut outs look machined, but as you pointed out...it is also where the cogs would meet.

The new gears came in Wed and they have flat 90 degree shoulders. I'll bring them by and we can figure out how to press the old ones off and get the new ones on.

Youre a smart man TxGSrider. Sounds like a plan. Thats going to be like a new engine when you get it put back together.
 
Yes, that dog is badly damaged. It can be built up and recut but if you've got new...
I'd also note that the shaft splines don't look particularly good in the pic. If you can feel indentations with a fingernail I'd replace that too.
You also need to work out what is worn to let that happen. Shift forks ? Fork rails bent ? Shift drum side clearance excessive ?

Before you press the end bearing off, measure how far on the shaft it sits. If you can, make up a spacer exactly this length to fit closely over the shaft.
When the bearing is pressed back on, use this spacer to press it to the correct position. Much easier than "press and measure"

Also, I seriously hope the dogs on the new gear are not cut at 90 degrees. They should be undercut about 5 degrees....
