    Default Adjusting Bands.

    How do you adjust the band/s on the VN. I dont have a Gregories manual so any help would be appreciated.
    Im not a complete idiot, some parts are still on backorder!

    On the drivers side of gearbox there is a cover approx 60-80mm diameter.This cover needs to have the spring clip removedwhilst being pushed in.Care should be taken as it is under spring tension and may fly out once clip is removed.If it feels like it is slipping it is more likely the friction plates are shot.

    If they are none adjustable that should save me a bit of time doing the tranny service. Im not having any problem with it I just thought I would adjust it while im there.

    All done. The fluid was pretty dirty. Shifts a lot smoother now. Idles better too.
