So, the oem shift selector spring broke, after getting the selector plate off the trans I immediately replaced the spring with the Chuck & Scud Super Duper Indestructible spring (barely seen in photo).  I then stopped and re-read the Shift Improvement thread and Re-Engineering the Shift Spring threads.  After reading the threads again, I was more comfortable taking the assembly apart, washing, inspecting and doing the needful indicated in the threads.

@guzziart, your 2003 is a short tank, white face gauges, "carryover" from '02?

Hi Docc,

I believe it is a long tank because I don't think I've seen a bike with a longer tank than what is on this thing and I've got black face gauges.

Docc,

So based on the "Breakdown by Model Year" I think I have the long tank, long frame '03 Lemans.  It has the black face gauges, internal pump, exh cross over pipe, no pad on the tank, satin black non wrinkle, non peeling paint eng/trans/diff.
