Hi,
I have some serious problems with the bike I´m trying to get on the road again. Gearbox problems that is.
First question I hope someone can verify. Should the mainshaft 5th gear (Brown one) be able to slide along the axle? I´m guessing so since the shifter fork thats holds it, moves in a trace on the drum that goes sideways. (If that made some sense...)
Image showing trace going left for the fork holding the 5th gear.
If I can get this verified I´ll try to heat it and give it some whacking to try to loosen it.
I don´t have any history on when the bike last worked, but forks and all looks pretty good. (trying to attach pic later)
Thanks,
/Peter

Re: Suzuki GT250, gearbox not working.
Yes should move in and out of dogs with gear beside it .
You can prove it to yourself by looking at pictures of GT250/T350/T305/T250 and GT380 "transmission" on eBay (USA?) you will see some in various positions.
Some nice sets up there. Also here is pick of the driven 5th gear

Re: Suzuki GT250, gearbox not working.
Thank you for that.
Yes, gear also seems to have a channel on the inside for oil access. Shaft is in fridge now and I´ll try some gentle heat and force to free it later today.
