Thank you, ad learning never stops for any of us.

Thank you.

💯% agree. One day i may even stop applauding Mike with grovelling compliments, but i cant promise that 😁👌

Thank You

Thank you.

We try. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, if this helps someone,, mission accomplished. Thank you.

Glad to help

Cool. Take it slow and set it up "as per the book." That 72 has a good old 4 speed (ratchet top, loose roller bearings). Enjoy it.

@@pacificmike9501 Aquired it from my older brother, been sitting in his basement for 18 years. Happy new year.

Glad to help

Thank You.

Yep. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Just trying to pass on some info.

True story. Thanks.

Thank you. Coming soon.

Thank You. I do appreciate you.

Thank You. We're here to talk about motorcycles. If we like each other, everything is better. The fun gets multiplied.

@@pacificmike9501 thank you for your years of wisdom. I will be sure to use plenty of white lithium grease and assembly lube with a smile. Love what ur doing and highly recomend people sub to you!

Wow. Thank You.

My pleasure!!

It's really routine stuff. But, thank you.

Sorry. Not used to showing that, probably should have. These gears were nice and low mileage. I'll do better next time.

@@pacificmike9501 - your videos are great, just I am currently stripping a 4 speed and knowing what to look for, tolerances etc would have taught me an additional layer of knowledge. Your spannering videos are the best on you tube though. Thanks for the great content that you create.

Yes it does!

@@pacificmike9501 Hi Mike I am putting a 4speed together right now, I bought all new Andrews close ratio gears and new shafts. I pressed a new bearing into the mainshaft gear race in the case, and when I try to put the gear in it's way to tight on the main drive gear? Same race same size bearing according to the numbers, fits nice on the mainshaft gear until I press it in? Any ideas?

Yep. Go to your best automotive machine shop, take the main drive gear, rollers, and your case. Tell them the fit you want and have them HONE it for you. Make sure it is someone you trust. Every motorcycle shop that was any good, used to have a Sunnen Hone for just such operations. Use your service manual for specifications.

Thank you.

If the surfaces are badly worn, no. If the surfaces are smooth or can be honed to make smooth, then consult your manual and go for it. I've never been a fan of using less rollers. I've seen some, but I couldn't do that.

Thank You. If there's no kicker gear, you don't need the other gears or spring.

@@pacificmike9501 Thank you very much Mike, I did think that but it’s good to check.

And Thank You.

This thing is definitely junk, but not my junk. Sorry 'bout that. What's wrong with a 5speed?

If the spaces you experience between gears is okay, simply remove the footshift lever and rotate it one tooth. The ratchet on the lid can be adjusted as per the manual, if this is not adequate.

I generally do it with an "air impact."

Not my problem. I believe he bought a new transmission. Thank you.

Exhaust pipes, Oil tank, primary drive and housings.

What year are you working with? I'm getting a little lost on your question.

@@pacificmike9501 early 76. What I meant was the mainshaft ball bearing, and how it fits into the bearing housing itself. It looked like when you were done with removing the mainshaft, you were arranging stuff on your bench and you put the bearing into the bearing housing and it just dropped right in. I have a brand new ball bearing and new bearing housing - and the bearing will not just drop right into the housing - definitely a press fit. I just dug out the old ones I am replacing and the bearing is snug in the bearing housing, but easily pressed in by hand. I think I might just "polish" the ID if that new bearing housing to make for a better fit that will take less than a herculean effort to insert the bearing.

These are the things we get into. Tough call. I think before I got serious about how to do it, I'd measure the bearings you have. Possibility one is defective.

In fact, quite often(especially in "aftermarket"), there is a plus or minus specification on those parts, and if one company made the bearing, and another the housing, they may never fit each other. Sometimes a vernier scale will tell you, sometimes, accurate micrometers.

@@pacificmike9501 Yeah, so I did some mixing and matching and found that the new bearing fits in the old housing. Measured everything to the best of my ability - old and new bearing OD (and ID) are the same. New housing ID is about .006 smaller than the old. I might just used the old housing if a little polishing of the new ID doesn't fix it. Thanks.

I have several sizes. The one I use most, I've had for over 50 years. Now you have me thinking. I don't know the sizes of rawhide mallets! Okay, I just grabbed a "new" one that's been laying around for years. It's larger than my old one I'm so used to. I believe it is one size larger and has a number "5" stamped in the handle. Hope this helps you. I'm gonna go get educated now.

@@pacificmike9501 Thanks Mike!! Love your vids by the way.

Thank you.
