CBX Stripdown - page 14 (Vol. 52 - February 1992)

• Remove gearshift spindle assembly, moving attached shift spindle arm out of the way (pic 66), and remove star shaped drum stopper cam. Pic 67 shows removed component.
• Remove drum stopper and attach star shaped cam to it to keep it safe. Remove stopper arm shaft, neutral stopper arm, washer and spring (pic 68).
• Reassemble all parts (pic 69) back on stopper arm shaft for safe keeping (pic 70).

• If bearing removal is required, remove the bearing stopper plate (pic 71) with an impact driver (two screws). Remove drive sprocket with special sprocket holding tool and 14mm socket (pic 72). Be careful not to lose O-ring behind the flange of the bolt.
• Picture 73 shows order of components. Note sprocket is marked 'outside' to aid correct fitment.

AND that's it for now. The next episode turns to separating the crankcase halves and completing the entire engine stripdown. After that we tackle the gearbox and the start rebuilding the engine.
