Actually started putting it back together by the end of the day. Barely. I'm still not optimistic that I've fixed it, but it really is a lovely feeling to know so much about a machine, how it's put together, how the bits interact. I'm a little disappointed I missed the focus on the gear changer mechanism photograph, but I'm not taking it apart again to get it right. The nice part about working on a motorcycle is the decided lack of hammers and cutting tools needed to dismantle it. So strange.
