can you see this picture below Thats my bent gear shaft

Any joy finding out what your problem is. Im just waiting on a gasket set for my Scorpa 295 then will start rebuilding. Ive ordered new gears as me dad said they were worn but someone else told me that they are ok and eouldnt be causing the problem. Howeever the gear shaft is bent on the outside of the crackcase but spins freely and is straight on the inside of the crank plus the pawl assembly (linked to end of shaft inside crank) spins at 90 degrees to the centre of the crankcase if you know what i mean. I think this may not be turning evenly which may be the reason why my bike was jumping out a gear when put under load. Have you checked the shifter drum where the channels are for the two selector forks, or the index shim. Was the return spring for the gear lever intact and working. This may be no help at all to you but i dont know too much, just what ive been learning scanning the net trying to sort mine out. Lastly the teeth ends on your 2nd gear on the lay/clutch shaft well small as mines not as squared off as the rest of the gears and 1st gear which is attached to the shaft the teeth look a bit pointed but someone from SWM told me that they are like that when noew but are case hardened...not worn.

Certainly have mate what do you need to know

ive got 95 Scorpa and same problems, once engine was stripped i found gears stripped ... 500 quid for the parts in UK 250 from USA. If you need any info ive got a library on this engine after spending days on the net searching. So if you need any info ... Matt

Hi, Ive got a Scorpa Works 295 and have had exactly the same probs as youve got ....selector problems. My dad made a puller up for it (used welder etc) and once the bike was stripped i found the gears were shot. I bought the bike off Ebay and it jumped out of gear when put under load. Ive got manuals etc and loads of info on the engine, gearbox etc after spending about 12 hours scanning the internet. If you need any info just ask. Matt (kent)

Looking for somewhere to practice riding in Kent. Got an old Scorpa Works 295 Trials Bike and need somewhere to practice before entering a trial. Can anyone help ??? Thanks
