Author Message   Deanh8 Posted on Tuesday, February 02, 2016 - 07:20 pm:        Im having a problem with the shifter not returning to neutral on an XB12; after the primary cover is torqued to spec. It is fine and works normally until the very last primary bolt is tight, then it wont "return" on its own. Any advice? I changed the shifter pawl with a known working one from another bike and same problem.

Many of these have too little. Often using an aftermarket primary gasket leads to sticking shifter shaft especially when engine gets warm. If axial play is too little material has to be removed from the inside of the primary cover where the shifter shaft boss runs against.   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 03:31 pm:        Check and make sure you didn't put the shaft seal behind the cover instead of in front of it. DAMHIK that one.
