@@perpetualmoto the hi/lo trans bikes are a bit more work when changing the front sprocket but are so much more useable on the trails so it's a small price to pay. Thanks Brad.

Started a mini freakout when you mentioned the two other thrust washers…. My 1973 does not have those whew !

Yes Sean I think there are some subtle differences over the years, it's impossible to cover every one. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Great info as usual! Thanks for this

Thanks John, the vid was done as a demo on an old engine which is in the queue for a rebuild. Changing sprockets is a common job but I couldn't see much online about the hi/lo box version so I thought I'd do a video to help anyone who is scratching their head over the job.

Great video as usual which I had watched when I first on my one has I was left with a ball bearing I eventually found where it had come from m8😉

I’ve watched this a few times to save myself pulling mine apart to check something. Part diagram lists the neutral switch as being inside the transmission however I see a component and a small hole (in the gasket I believe) That allows a part of the neutral circuit to go through into the casing behind it. Any idea on what that is ? Having trouble with the neutral light and trying to avoid tearing the thing down to it’s bowels to fix it

There's a copper plate on the end of the selector drum, but I think you mean if you look at 5:48 on the video inside the case top left there's a black plastic cigar shaped tube which is the second part of the neutral switch and the wire pushes onto a bullet terminal on its end. On the hi/lo version the wire is behind the small metal plate held in place by a case screw, If you remove the wire before taking the casing off, the black tube stays in the engine. if you leave the wire in place as I did in the video the tube comes out with the case. If you look at some of my other videos you'll see what I mean. Look at 'replacing cam chain pt 1 at 1:30 you'll see it in the case at top right with a white looking 'washer' around the bullet connector in the middle. It sounds more complicated than it is. Hope this helps.

I managed to find a diagram of the left crankcase cover and it does indeed list it. Fingers crossed this has crapped out and not the copper plate on the selector drum

Why this high low gearbox not available in new ct models ? Any idea ? Thanks👍

@Free_Ranger_CT110

We can only guess at the reason. Maybe Honda thought the new more powerful 125cc engine didn't need it or that the bike would not be used on steep tracks. I'd say because the engine is shared among many bikes that it was to standardise the engine & keep costs down. I think the new ct125 is way over priced, a Suzuki 250 v strom is $2k cheaper.

my sub transmission pops out of high gear when under full load. Any ideas what might be causing this?

@Free_Ranger_CT110

Could be lots of things, need to dismantle & check everything. Could be not fully engaging caused by worn/bent selector or wear/play/damage in the operating lever fork. If fully engaging but jumping out could be damaged/missing spring behind the detent balls on the main selector rod. Could be worn/damaged dogs or gears. When checking the cause should be obvious except for the detent mechanism which is easy to miss. Check the manual operating lever fork in the case bottom held on by small circlip, could be worn/damaged etc. Hope this helps.

Couldn't help but notice that no lube or grease was applied to the gears or shafts inside the sub-transmission. Was lubing performed off-camera?

You're correct. Also gaskets etc, this is an older engine which is to be stripped for rebuild. The video was a demo to show the parts.

Once agin thank you for your videos , may I ask as to how many kilometers you have on your bike ?

@Free_Ranger_CT110

Thanks for watching & commenting. This bike bought in parts has 35,000km on the speedo. My other bike that I rode into the outback has approx 65,000km, it's impossible to be certain as the speedo cable was broken when I bought it.

@@luckydog7299 yes that's correct, it allows oil to the crankshaft big end. Make sure you fit it with the spring in first. I've a clutch video which shows this in detail. At 5:30 min it shows the oil pass pipe kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZqmXmLOsZKnQiaw.html hope this helps

At 6:09 in your video you remove the sprocket I don't see the bushings. I have two bushings. One has a big flange that goes against the seal and the other bushing goes on the outside of the sprocket. When I put the crankcase back on. the sprocket is really tight and will not move. This is the second seal I've put in with the same issue.

@Free_Ranger_CT110

When I fitted the sprocket it was a snug fit on the shaft the bushings must've been in place. The manuals show the bushings A & B as they call them it sounds like you have them in the correct way. It's difficult to diagnose without seeing it. All you've done is change the seal? Have you put on a new sprocket at the same time? If so measure the width of old & new sprocket with the bushes in place. It must be something simple.

@@Free_Ranger_CT110 I'm almost 100% sure I have the correct oil seal but it would make sense if it wasn't the correct one because to me it seems to be 1mm too thick. On the parts diagram there are 2 different part numbers for item #21. One has NOK Do you know what that means?
