2 weeks ago I hit a deer primarily on the left side of my bike, bending up the fender, crash guard and knocking the bike out of gear. I'm fine, protected from Above, didnt go down. However, within 400 miles and 3 days later my tranny cratered. Just going down the road it came out of gear and started making this awfull grinding noise and would not shift into gear. HOG roadside assistance towed it back to the house (thanks HOG) and I began tearing things down. Here is where I get some confusion, and if there is anything I have learned in life it is "ask questions before you really mess things up" and "learn from others mistakes because you will never live long enough to make them all yourself".
1, does the compensator nut come off by turning it to the left or right
2, same question for the clutch assy
and 3, does a wedge of wood work good to keep the compensator assy from rotating while trying to remove it?
I cannot help but wonder if part of the shifter mechanism was damaged by the impact. BTW the deer died very quickly and the trip to Lukenbach was a success.
