Gear Shifting Mechanism

Gear shifting cam stopper
9-22-1.
Operation
When the gear shifting lever is depressed, the gear shifting pawl on the gear shifting shaft
pushes the gear shifting cam pin, turning the gear shifting cam.
At this moment guided by the gear shifting fork guides which slide in the grooves machined
on the cam drum, the gear shifting forks move in the axial direction, causing the top gear
and top pinion to travel on the splines of the shafts so that low, second or top is selected.
Depressing the gear shifting lever forward three times from neutral will put the transmission
in top. As the transmission of this motorcycle is a return type, the gears have to be shifted
back down through second and low for neutral by depressing the gear shifting lever rear­
ward.
