New to the group here!
I have a quick question.
I’ve got an 05 crf150f that seems to have a bent shift fork/worn shift drum for second gear. It has trouble going from 1st to 2nd but not from 3rd to 2nd.
Happens 2 out of 3 times I shift up to second. It doesn’t bother me too much because I’ve gotten used to it, but with the weather getting colder I’m beginning to be more willing to take a couple days tearing it apart to fix it. So here’s what I’d like some thoughts on.
1. Is a used drum acceptable? What about used forks? I would assume so, but not sure if wear patterns are unique enough to make a difference
2. While the thing is apart, I plan to put new rings in it, and obviously all the gaskets etc. will be new. But what’s everyone’s take on replacing other top end parts as well?
3. Is there anything else in the transmission/shift linkage that I should also look at replacing while I do this? I only want to split the block once, so I’d like to do what I need to while I’m in there.
Obviously I will be inspecting everything to make sure it’s within limits, and this will be done to the highest of standards as I am ocd that way. I’m just trying to avoid down time as much as possible, and want to have everything ready to just get it done in a day or two and not have to be ordering parts mid project if I can help it.
Thanks in advance!
