So i did a service on the 570 i just acquired... when i dumped the oil there was one ball bearing in with it. At least there was a magnetic oil plug. This worried me... I removed the bearing and added the new oil after cleaning the filters, and fired her up. Sounded great... Can not find neutral !!! Any help would be great. Isn't there a ball bearing inline w/ the shift lever? Easy peasy... or take it to the shop time?
if its built like a swede thats the neutral detent ball for your shift drum. how it escaped i dont know but that would explain not finding neutral. cases will need split to reassemble.
Justintendo; that's kind of what I was thinking, but I'm gonna look at the parts list and shop manual and see if I can line it up. John; I'll look into the clutch rod bearing... It doesn't ring my bell, but I'm still learning. Thanks guys. Anymore help would be awesome
Look here: http://www.halls-cycles.com/images/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/1998-2004/2002/02_TE-TC570.pdf Page 29. Is ball bearing #6 the one you're referring to?
So looking at the parts manual it looks like the ball(part#:6BN0 21502) between the fork tube(part#: 1615 31502) and the plate(part#: 8000 96754) I'm not sure how its held in place, obviously that part is screwy seeing that the ball isn't being held there So I guess I will open her up and see if anything jumps out at me. Any thoughts or ideas on this process will be greatly appreciated
I owe this guy some beer! What the problem was is that I pulled the wrong plug and removed the ball that allows the bike to go into neutral... looks like five minutes of wrenching and im going for a ride after work! who wants to hit rubicon w/ me?
