You guys are amazing. I'll start this later today, please stay tuned if I need more help. How did that happen anyway? Do I need to replace something to prevent it from happening again?

on the shaft, sprocket side, there should be a retaining clip on the shaft to stop this happening, look to see if it is missing.
******* edit......actually i just looked on the fiche and there is no retaining clip for the shaft. there is on the gs1000 i have so the 750 must be different..SORRYLast edited by Agemax; 01-04-2013, 08:13 AM.1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

There is no clip. The shaft slides in and out, which is how you are going to rectify the issue. Slide it out a bit, rotate the fork until the spring is correctly located, then slide it back in.

When you are done, it should look like this (assuming the clutch basket is not in the way):

No offense taken. I think I have just the thing actually. I have a tool with a mesh band that may hold it. There are times I need a Clymers, I need to get one. The shop manual just is not enough.

Can someone verify the size of the bolt on the clutch basket? It measures out to about 31 - 32 mm. I don't have a socket that big and will go get one but really didn't want to buy a whole range of them Thanks again.

It's 32mm. If you have a selection of SAE sockets, use the 1 1/4".

Just to update guys, I did pull the basket and that piece was pushed out and the gears did not match up. Pulled the shaft out a bit and it slid right in. Easy Peasy once you get a big metric socket. $20, goodness. I have one now.
The whole process was a good learning experience as I had not taken a clutch apart before (never had to) and got a look at all of the parts and bearings. When Boulevard gets going and send me the springs I'll put it back together and go onto the next problem. I didn't take a pic of where all the tubing from the carb nozzles go, so that is next.
Thanks a lot for the lesson.

Hi guys, I've had the exact same problem, pull the engine replaced again and the shifter was stuck in neutral...
But being the dufus I am I was giving a fair amount of force on the shifter
After reading this I removed the cover and put spring in the correct position, now it changes gear fine but the pedal doesn't return to the centre, I have too give it a little tap up or down to change again.
I'm guessing I've bent the spring, is it a easy fix or have i done more damage?
Thanks in advance Luke
