yamaha xj600n diversion '98/5th gear ?

[stan1949]

Hi,

My yam is fettling up nicely, but last on the list of 'to do's' is a noisy 5th gear.

Thankfully, second hand internals are cheap.

I know how to identify gears in good condition.

But how do I know which gear is 5th gear when the cluster is on the bench ?

Thanks.
