Put Cases Back Together and can only get one gear....

[Finnigan]

JUST put my bottom cases together on my 360 motor, wanted to make sure everything was fine before the sealant set up and when I try to shift gears I can find neutral and first...but nothing after that. Do I need to finish assembly before it will shift through all 6 gears?

Make sure you're turning the engine while you're shifting. They won't shift more than one gear with no movement.

Yup that did it!

I can go from 1-N-2-3-4-5-6

going beyond 1 or 6 doesnt work, is that right?

 

[SONICJK]

Glad you got it worked out.

And unless you have the world only 7 speed cb360, then yes 1-6 is good

HAHA! I meant its not cyclical, it goes to one end and another

No, they don't cycle back around - you have to go up to 6 and then back down through the gears to 1. You don't have to engage the clutch for each gear change - you can down shift from 6 to 1 through all the gears while holding the clutch in the entire time. But you don't go past 6 and end up in 1 again, or drop from 1 down to 6.

I think some bikes were in fact built like that, but I can't remember which ones.

Thanks Tim!
