I put it all together last night and thought (which I should have done earlier) to test the gears, I had test them before putting the transmission on and they went through each gear.
With almost everything bolted back on (trans (no oil), final drive) and the bike NOT turned on, when I was torquing the rear wheel I noticed it rotating freely. From previous experience while in gear this should not move.
I placed it into gear and it continued to rotate freely by hand.
I could only drop to what I thought was 1st and neutral.
I plugged the battery in and it came up blank, but then could see 4th after some gear changes.
What have I done wrong? I followed the manual and I followed Chris Harris' entertaining youtube clips! Could the second-hand transmission be at fault? Even though the gears went through freely before installation, had no metal in the oil and looked extremely clean.
I think I have dealt with the fact that I need to pull it apart again, but what should I be checking?
Thanks for your help, appreciate people assisting out a noob.
