NOTE
Be sure the battery is fully charged.
Using the peak voltage adapter [A] is more reliable way
to determine the condition of the crankshaft sensor than
crankshaft sensor internal resistance measurements.
Disconnect the crankshaft sensor lead connector (see

Examine the shift shaft [A] for any damage.
If the shaft is bent, straighten or replace it.
If the serration [B] are damaged, replace the shaft.
If the spring [C] is damaged in any way, replace it.
If the shift mechanism arm [D] is damaged in any way,
replace the shaft.

Spring Plate Free Play Measurement
Insufficient clutch free play will cause the engine braking
effect to be more sudden, resulting in rear wheel hop. On
the other hand, if the free play is excessive, the clutch lever
may feel “spongy” or pulsate when pulled.
Hold an extra drive shaft in a vise and install the following
