So You Want to Get Into Vintage Motorcycles? (Gearbox Issues Cont'd)

In this video we dive back into the BSA Victor Desert Sled Gearbox and I point out some common wear points that I failed to notice the last three times I had it out of the motor. Additionally, I show off a couple exciting additions to the garage (and channel) while sharing some insight into what vintage motorcycle ownership is like and why you should consider it as a hobby!

Second gear popping off? It’s worn out?

[@i_hate_mosquitos]

Yeah, the dog gears were worn for 2nd and 3rd!

Its a BSA, what did you expect.
Next time buy Japanese quality.

Japanese, American, British, German, brand nationality doesn’t matter, they all break down eventually! 50 years of time of use and abuse will lead to failure, have had the same issues with Japanese bikes man. Got a Kawasaki that drops gears too, just haven’t shown it.
