Hello All, Just reassembled my R100GS. Put in the new rebuilt tranny with all new bearings, and the "long" 5th gear from Ted Porter. The transmission turned smoothly and shifted through all gears before installation. It shifts perfectly and runs smoothing through all 5 gears on my initial ...

Just FYI, years ago I added a second sensor inside my bean can. Have never needed it (put 2 new ones in when I did it), but check every couple of years to make sure the "spare" is still working. I bought 10-12 of them from Newark at the time, about $12 each, I think. Have given them all aw...

Thanks, I get it. I sort of miss the old seals with the spring. And if you don't know which way round that is you probably shouldnt be taking gear boxes apart And not sure I really appreciate or need anyone to tell me what I "should" do on my bike. I already had a mother. The incredible va...
