Hello! I just pulled a 700SC motor to look at a 1st gear issue. Basically the guy I bought it from laid it down and it wouldn't go out of 1st gear.

When I pulled it, dropped the pan and took out the oil pump I found 4 parts laying in the gears... I looked at all the parts listing from bikebandit and couldn't find anything even remotely looking like it.

Does anyone here know what these parts are and where they go? I seriously am at a loss, all I know is that they were sitting on the gears making them not shift. Bike shifts well now, but I'd rather find out what these parts are before putting the motor back in.

Any ideas?!?

Found it. It was a chain tensioner. Apparently the way it broke was the bending of the motor as it hit the ground caused the guard to slap the chain, get stock then pop off, which then got stuck in the gear shifter drums, hence the motor ran great but you couldn't shift out of first.

Unfortunetly that part requires a 34 step process of dismantling the transmission to get to it. I chose plan B. Throw it back together as is and ride it until it blows up. So far so good. LOL
