Just another rider
I have a 1974 R90/6 5spd trans with an unknown number of miles. For the past 15+ years that I've had the bike, the transmission has always been a real PITA to get into neutral, even when it's warmed up. I have a few questions about this.
As always, I appreciate the wisdom and advice.
- Is this normal, one of those “Yeah, they all do that” things?
- Is it feasible cost-wise to have the transmission rebuilt/refurbished? Would it make any difference?
- I recall hearing/reading somewhere that a four-speed transmission from the /5 is basically a bolt-on replacement. Would that be a feasible option?
- Any other early /6 transmission-related suggestions? (Other than “buy a later model”. Which ain't gonna happen.)
As always, I appreciate the wisdom and advice.
