help! just done donington track on monday 2nd session my beast breaks before i take it to any garage just wanted to know if anybody else has had this happen. bike starts ok 1st gear ok 2nd gear ok when i change to 3rd the bike starts banging/clunking but still riderable,every other gear there is no problem just when i put it in 3rd. any advise as to what it could be would be much apprieciated. jay.
Yep gear box, on a very very very good note the mighty 2006 model has a cassette gear box, so an VERY easy job, think yourself lucky you don't have an rr8.....lol LOVE rr5-7
How much would the cassette cost as mine is occasionally jumping out of gear into a false neutral from 3rd & 4th?
There was a £10,000 F1 cut gear box on eBay for £1,000 a while back.....nice.....lol They range anywhere from 100 to 250 on eBay. There is a new face plate and drum on there now for 150 false neutrals can be caused by linkage play, worn dogs, worn selector barel, you can replace just the worn gears or chuck in a second hand cassette.
I personally would open it up and have a look, had a gixer doing it on me.new 2nd, 6th and a selector fork an that was me back on the road. cost around £100 for the parts.
