zemon Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Gears failed on my cbr 125 on the way home today, pedal just traveled really far down can't get it out of first.I think this is that cause: The clasp/clamp seems to move but not the spindle it's attached to. I have tried tightening it etc to no end, with no luck, I assume the teeth on the clamp are one as the spindle notches seem in goo order.Anyway any ideas what the clamp bit is called because I can't find it anywhere.All help appreciatedDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 there is a good chance you have worn the spline off the shaft as well as out of the knuckle section personally i would loose it right off by the 10mm headed bolt and remove it to check the spline condition,if it has worn the shaft spine then it will need replacing,if it has only worn the spline in the knuckle section then you can cheat and saw a bit out of the centre wher the 2 sections meet when bolted shut but dont cut while bolt in or you wont get the section out that in left in just use a saw or small grinder to make the gap bigger slightly then refit and see if it will clamp up tight to get you going for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 That bit is exposed to dirt and all the weather! You will need a lot of WD40 and heat to get that bolt out I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemon Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's all clean n the bolt comes out fine, but the clamp won't come off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 get a small fine flat ended chisel to tap gently into the spread gap to open it a bit then it will wiggle off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
