FZR400 Gearbox Question
Hi All,
I am reassembling my gearbox after fitting new bearings etc. I forgot to measure the fitted axial clearance of the 6th pinion gear (#6) before dismantling.
Gear #7 is pressed onto the shaft and how far you press it on determines the axial float of #6. So I am asking if anyone has an FZR400 gearbox, any model from 1WG to 3LN6, if you could measure either or both of the following.
1/ axial float of gear #6 (could do with a dial gauge or feelers gauges)
2/ length of shaft protruding from gear #7. Needs to be accurate so at least use vernier callipers.
Cheers
Blair

Re: FZR400 Gearbox Question
There is no such clearance listed on the service manual...since there are shift forks that move the gears, a bit of clearance is required. The rule of thumb is you set the clearance in order to have enough allowance for any slack in the gearbox...

Re: FZR400 Gearbox Question
Why were you rebuilding the gearbox, just out of curiosity - I have a '90 Fzr400 and I find 5th to 6th shifts often meets false nuetral unless I really baby the shift. No crunches and the rest of the gears are fine.

Re: FZR400 Gearbox Question
I was rebuilding the engine so just part and parcel of stripping and inspecting etc.
