This is good info regarding setting up the gear change quadrant. Something I found out 30 years ago was that if you are using the Haynes manual, as many do, if you have the gear change quadrant installed as per the photo in the manual, then you have it installed upside down. When assembled, the box will go into first gear and then lock up solid.
thats good to know so if i get that question lol. i have had many communication problem with people using the haynes manual for all british bikes and they seem to have misleading info. luckily nor reprints of factory are available
This is such good info! Thanks for explaining this stuff, and shooting such good video. I know when I'm working on my bike the last thing I'd want to do is pull out a video camera and lighting. The lowbrow customs 650 rebuild series is amazing, but videos like this add so much detail. Very helpful.
Another very interesting video, is it me, but that looks harder to assemble than the later 5-speed version! Not done a 4-speed box for years TBH, although lots of 5-speed gearboxes that I find relatively easy to do, insert the mainshaft, 4th gear, and its selector fork, lots of grease on the selector fork to hold it in place, followed by layshaft, 2nd gear with selector and again grease to hold in place and the rest is easy from there. Assemble the gearbox in neutral, rotate into 5th, time the inner cover where the quadrant engages the camplate at its highest position for 5th gear and that's it. no lining up to do, it works for me practically every time.
@@dirtyshirtrichter8647I second the pre unit gearbox video request please mate. Would also love to see a pull down, inspection and evaluation of each part (perhaps this could be part 1). Then part 2 as a full rebuild. Tough crowd sorry mate, very demanding we are!! Thanks for the great vids, very helpful and informative. Cheers 🍻
Hi mate; may be you can help me with an opinion. I tried to record an small clip with an engine here but no matter how many lights I have here on the bench; the video is not brighter like yours. I am using a cell phone at HD and plenty of lights (at different distances, shades etc) so as you know the phones in the "video" mode have that thing where you touch the screen to make focus and have a brighter recording HOWEVER; you cannot move the phone because that more brightness disappear...how do you keep moving the phone and videoing always with the same brightness? Could be due to those light rings stands that holds the `phones? Hope you can understand. Thanks
im using a DJI osmo pocket to record but your phone should work the same. for lighting i have found having overhead light and having the ring light pointed horizontal really helps balance out the lighting. i hope that helps!
