Where does this gear shift component go?

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

My GS650G rebuild has got to the stage of assembling the gear shift, however there is one small pin which I do not seem to have and, more importantly, cannot figure out where it goes. It is a diameter 4mm x 6mm pin, item 22 on the diagram below.



My best guess is that it may fit in the hole in the end of the gearshift cam to give the gear indicator switch spring a firm base to bear upon, but that's only a guess. If so, then no problem, I'll turn up a pin and away we go, but I would hate to find out next month that I have to tear down the engine again to fit it in the correct place!

Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ian

Afaik the only things going in the hole at the end of the shaft are the spring and pin, 44 & 43. I'm guessing but could it be a locking pin for the C ring on the bearing , 23 & 15, or a lock for the pawl plate 21 ?

AHA!!!
Thanks Brendan, you were spot on, it's a locking pin for the pawl plate. It hides away behind the circlip, but you can just about see it once you know where to look.
That puts my mind at ease.
Thanks very much for the help, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ian
