While out riding the selector spring snapped leaving the gear lever floppy. To get at it both clutch covers have to come off and the HTS needs disconnecting. Fortunately I discovered the main bolt into the left side valve loose however.
1. How do I reinstall/time the gear since it was loose I couldn't mark the spot and really don't have a clue how it should be aligned?
2. Is it ok to use loctite on the bolt?
I have the owners and workshop manual but it is not clear.
