    Function

     It allows the engine to spin free of the wheels when


    the vehicle is at rest.
     It keeps the engine speed in the correct range
    relevant to vehicle speed.
     Transmissions contain multiple gear ratios, which
    keep the engine RPM in an ideal range and allow the
    vehicle to accelerate from a stop, cruise at high
    speed, and everything in between.

    Parts of transmission

     Bearings: Pressed into
    the outer engine or
    transmission case,
    bearings allow the
    transmission shafts to
    spin free and true.

    Gears
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYCmm3XqBBY

     Motorcycle transmissions
    have three gear types —
    fixed, freewheeling and
    slider.
     Two constantly meshed
    gears make up each gear
    ratio, meaning a six-speed
    transmission will have 12
    gears
     Fixed gears are part of, or
    locked to, the main shaft
    or countershaft and
    rotate at the same speed.
     Freewheeling gears spin
    independently of the
    main shaft or
    countershaft. They have
    dogs (protrusions) or
    slots on their sides so
    they can engage with a
    neighboring gear.
     Shift fork: The shift fork(s) control the
    horizontal movement of the slider
    gears.
     Shift drum: The shift drum controls the
    movement of the shift forks.
     Shift linkage: The shift linkage connects
    the foot-controlled gear selector to the
    shift drum. As a rider moves the gear
    selector up or down, the shift linkage
    rotates the shift drum, causing the shift
    forks to move slider gears to engage
    with their neighboring freewheeling
    gear.

     Engine power enters the transmission
    main shaft via the clutch.
     Gear M1 is a fixed gear (spins at same
    speed as the main shaft).
     Gear C1 (freewheeling gear) is in
    constant mesh with M1.
     C5 is a slider gear; when it engages C1,
    the countershaft spins.
     Power exits the transmission via the
    sprocket to the drive chain.
    When in neutral

     Power enters the


    transmission main shaft
    via the clutch.
     All three fixed gears (M1,
    M4 and C3) mesh with
    freewheeling gears.
     The countershaft does
    not spin.
    Common Problems With Motorcycle
    Transmissions

     While modern motorcycles are


    reliable and well-built,
    transmission issues may still
    occur at some point. It isn’t
    uncommon for a motorcycle
    owner to complain about:
     Clunking noises
     Hard/difficult shifting
     Jumping out of gear
     difficulty finding neutral
