Bonneville Ep.3 Primary drive stripdown

It's been quite a relief to get back to this old girl, a few months have passed since the last time I had time for this project, apologies, huge fabrication jobs & RoV servicing juat had to come first (keeps the Bank Manager happy!)

So, remember the info the customer provided at the time of the g/box failure. Alan started the engine, pulled in the clutch lever & engaged first gear - the engine instantly stalled. He put the g/box back into neutral & re-started the engine, pulled the clutch in & engaged 2nd gear & set off down the road, after a short distance there was a loud noise from the gearbox so he stopped the bike & pushed it home....

After you have watched the video what clues do we see that may help identify what the primary fail was - what do you think may have caused 2 teeth on 2nd gear to break off? Post a comment & we can discuss...

Next job is to inspect all of the gearbox, gear change & clutch components - I'm hoping to get this done next weekend so Ep.4 should be out in a few weeks.

Enjoy
Andy
