TRANSMISSION
6.7
GENERAL
See
Figure 6-45.
The transmission is a five-speed constant-
mesh type housed in an extension of the crankcase. The
transmission permits the rider to vary the ratio of engine
speed-to-rear driving wheel speed in order to meet the vary-
ing conditions of operation.
The transmission is foot-operated by the gear shifter lever,
which transmits the force through a gear shifter shaft. The
shifter shaft actuates a pawl and a shifter fork drum. The
shifter fork drum moves shifter forks, which slide a series of
shifter dogs on the mainshaft and countershaft, into and out
of mesh with the other gears.
