GRUDGEBOX BEARING DOOR BOLTS
3. Carefully install the gearset into the
transmission case. It is helpful to have a
second set of hands on the left side of the
motorcycle to grab onto the mainshaft as
it passes through the main drive gear.
The person on the left side can help the
process along by gently rotating the main
drive gear back and forth; this helps the
5
th
gear on the countershaft find home
with the main drive gear.
It is rare, but sometimes the fork rods
need to be jostled to find home on the left
side of the transmission case.
4. Install the eight stainless steel cap screws and washers (rounded side down) onto the
bearing door using blue threadlocker. Be sure to replace the exhaust bracket beneath the
bottom inner bolts. Torque to 22 – 25 ft-lb using the torque sequence in figure 26. You
may remove the zip tie from the shifter pawl and the black rubber cap from the mainshaft
at this time.
8. Put 28-32 oz. transmission fluid (75-85W140 synthetic gear oil) into the transmission by
pouring it through the top cover cavity onto the main drive gear and shifter pawl. Make
sure to coat as much of the gearset components as possible with the fluid.
6. With the new side cover gasket in place, re-install the side cover and torque the bolts to
125 – 135 in-lb with blue threadlocker. Go to the other side of the motorcycle and re-install
the drive pulley or sprocket onto the main drive gear. Use BAKER TOOLD-07 or H-D
equivalent to torque the pulley / sprocket nut to 35 ft-lb + 35° – 45° with red threadlocker.
Refer to your Factory Service Manual for details.
7. Re-install the transmission drain plug and torque it to 14 – 21 ft-lb. Re-install the transmission
dipstick and torque it to 25 – 75 in-lb.
5. Locate the speed sensor that was removed from the transmission case during stock
component removal. Remove the O-ring from the speed sensor, install the provided spacer
(132-56R), and re-install the O-ring. The speed sensor with spacer can now be placed
back into the transmission case. Torque the bolt to 125 – 135 in-lb with blue threadlocker.
