components (sect. 3 - 1.1, Gearbox).
Also check the wear on the drum support pin ...
Inspection of the gear selector forks
Visually inspect the gear selector forks. Bent forks must be renewed as they
may lead to difficulties in gear changing or
may suddenly disengage when under load.
Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance of each fork in its gear groove.
If the service limit has been exceeded, check whether ...
