Jumping out of first gear
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:01 am
I have just rebuilt a couple of Indian and 3 English Albion gearboxes The 3 English and one of the Indian boxes had a loose drive side bearing. What this does is if you take off from a standing start and turn right as you lean over the bearing moves inwards in the box and this forces it to jump out of first which is not nice as you are moving slowly, leaning over and all of a sudden you loose forward momentum and the bike wants to drop on you. Just a trivial bit of info to remember. Loctite solves this problem
