A bit of advice please ! I've had my sprocket casing off today and obviously the small gear change one too. whilst cleaning them before reassembly i unintentionally rotated the change wheel to the right of the linkage a few clicks and I'm not sure what its original position was. Is that critical ? do the marked lines in the circles in the pics attached need to line up ? Thanks in advance !
Mike

Well I’ve got the casings back on and just doing a dry run (ie not put oil back in yet)…up and down the gears and rocking back wheel to help changing. It finds them all fine including neutral but it does find a few false neutrals along the way….would that be expected without the engine running/bike moving on these ?
The gear lever return spring doesn’t feel all that strong either although it is returning, maybe that’s part of the problem.
Any advice appreciated as ever thanks
 
Yep, things can feel quite 'crunchy' without the engine running but I wouldn't expect you to find 'a few' false neutrals.

Can you explain in a bit more detail what happens when this occurs? When does it occur (which gear; going up or down; how do you get the gear to engage)? Have you adjusted the eccentric to get equal movement of the hooked selector arm up and down? Usually best done in 4th gear. Loads of stuff has been posted about gear change selection issues - for example this

Have you tried to tap/lever the gear change lever cover forwards as you tighten it? Although your problem may be a weak spring, binding of the selector shaft in the cover might cause a similar symptom.
