What do you call this type of work?

[HajiWasAPunk]

The gears on the bike were sticking bad. When we drained the transmission oil there were metal shavings in it and after removing the cover you could see some of the gear teeth were broken. When this is fixed, they (the dealer) had to open the whole motor up to get to everything.

Is this considered a new "bottom end" or is that referring to something else?

thanks.

Bottom end refers to the crankshaft and connecting rod. Top end refers to the piston, cylinder, and cylinder head. Transmission refers to the transmission.

Thanks, for some reason I had it my head that anything internal (other than the piston and rings) was referred to as "bottom end".

I would call that type of work "expensive".

Transmission refers to the transmission.

Brilliant!

lol, yeah luckily I have a business relationship with a dealer who takes care of this for me. I've learned to do top ends but that's about the most complex thing I have time or patience for.

Grinding gears

Hello, i am new here, today i spent a few hours having a read and i must say, this site is PACKED with usefull information, its unbelievable!
Great job guys and girls.

If i recall correctly, Hajiwasapunk, you were saying that you did not use your clutch and asked if there is a downside of not using it.

I appologise if i am wrong about you saying that, as it may have been someone else.

But, As i am new to the sport i was wondering the same thing.

Others said that it didnt really do much damage unless you dont keep your revs high, i was wondering if that is truely the case.

Am i better off just using the clutch, as it is there for a reason, or is this kind of Gear grinding inevitable?

It sounds expensive, thanks :cool:

Manual transmissions ARE designed to shift with the clutch. You can, match RPM/transmission shifts with little to no effect. Personally, I use the clutch to start out and to down shift but I up shift without the clutch more often than with the clutch. I've never experinced any problems but it is not to say that I won't. Good technique in shifting should not cause noticeable damage. Just my $.02.
