I checked all those too and they were all well within spec.The dogs of the gears aren't likely to be the issue, I would expect that the selector forks, or the shifter drum may have the wear that is causing the issue.
Guys,
Finally made it out here to Cali. Planning has never ceased so here's what will be happening soon.
- New reserve fuel tank filter and O-rings (guess what, my tank did not have a filter inside for the reserve! Yay me). This, along with cleaning out the petcock (again) will finally give me use of my reserve again.
- Noticed that my practically brand new brake pads decided to, idk disintegrate on me? I had major scoring on the left rotor so I'm replacing both rotors and all pads.
- Critically stupid move of past me, I put Dot5 fluid in a Dot4 reservoir so I need to flush the system and hope I didn't do damage
- New EBC clutch will get installed after two oil flushes with conventional kawi 10w40.
- New hiflo oil filter
- Engine ice after a few distilled water flushes
- Once everything is done and closed up, I've be finishing up with safety wire all around again.
We'll see what happens after this for my second gear issue, but for now... fuck it lets go ride.
5.1, I shorthanded itGuys,

DOT 5 or DOT 5.1 ? I don't think I've ever even seen DOT 5 (silicon) brake fluid for sale anywhere in my life.
5.1 should be fine and backwards compatible with DOT 4. DOT 5 (no .1) is silicon based and is NOT compatible with glycol based DOT 3 and 4.5.1, I shorthanded it
Drum rides on a single ball bearing on one side and metal-metal bearing on the other (not sure what that's called). The forks ride on a rod with no bearings. The new drum assembly I bought included the bearing and a new selector hubI wonder what the bearing assemblies look like, that the drum and forks must ride on.... Are those surfaces roller bearings, plain bearings, or what?
