Just got it firing!
Sorry, folks...been planning to make the traditional "here is my bike" first-time post. But, I waited too long and now I need some minor mechanical help!
First...the bike. I'll post some more pics soon. I bought a very lightly used (900 miles) 2011 V7 Racer and had it shipped over 1600 miles from Montana to Kentucky. It has been a blast and I've enjoyed every minute of owning it...until today!
Luckily, I was by the house when I noticed the shift lever was loose and that the gearbox was unresponsive. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the ball joint/bolt were not connected to the lever and slightly mangled.
My questions are:
1. Is this common?
2. Should there be a nut on the exterior side of the ball joint/bolt and lever?
3. I checked an exploded diagram and if I have to replace the part, it looks to be AP8110053. However, when I enter that into a parts database, the results are mostly this part...which seems different. https://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/prodList.asp
Thanks in advance for the help! Looking forward to being here!
