TRANSMISSION
GENERAL
. 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 varying condi-
tions 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.
