Tighten the screw (18) in this position to a torque of 36 nm (min. 34 Nm - max. 38 Nm) and screw (20) to a torque of 16 nm (min. 15 Nm - max. 17 Nm) (sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Warning

Make sure that the gear selector lever fixing screws (18) and (20) are those indicated in our spare parts catalogue. They Must be screws of class 12.9 In order to respect the tightening torque indicated above (sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).

Check that the pin (h) placed on the gear drum is axially to the notch (l) on the gear claw (with gear in neutral).

With the gearbox in neutral, check that the lever travel is the same when shifting up and down. The same should apply when a gear is engaged.

Operate the gearchange lever and turn the front sprocket at the same time to check that all the gears engage when shifting up and down.

Remove the previously installed lever and sprocket.
