KIPS gear

gwcrim:
Does this look OK?



Where did these come from then?

Rick:
Gosh, I've never seen that before.  If I am not mistaken, it appears that the center of the gear has been chewed up a bit, reducing the spring load.  I would try and replace the gear.  If it's not available as a seperate item, just add a couple of washers under the pin to bring the load back close to normal.

Let us know the final outcome.

gwcrim:
Seven and a half bucks and another weeks wait.  Oh well...... it's too dang cold to ride anyway.

kawdude:
Why would this happen?  Would seized exhaust valve cause the gear to sheer like that.  Pretty weird!  Nice pics though.  

I glad to see that weird things happen to bikes other than mine!!! :mrgreen:

gwcrim:
Never underestimate the destructive power of CRIM. :roll:

The exhaust valves were indeed frozen.  That's my guess as to the culprit.
