So, the replacment of the layshaft's gone well and everything seems to be in order.
The bike starts on the kick start but it feels very stiff and the gear selctor lever feels vague (although they always do, the only way of fullying testing a gearbox is to ride.)
When the bike is running in neutral there's a minor graunchy grinding noise coming from the transmition somewhere. This is obviously not good so I've stopped the engine.
What to do? What's the first thing to check?
(I loosened the neutral finder sprung nut and that helped a bit.)
