where?

 

near central station

 

Sorry, it's in Sydney

 

Just out of curiosity, if its only done 33,000k's why would it need a
gearbox re-build?

 

geez don't you know anything , japaneses bikes are lucky to even get that
far
without self destructing

 

the previous owner was a wheelie king (in his own mind) and stuffed 2nd
gear, it would pop out (and back in again)under HARD acceleration at about
10,000rpm, when I pulled the gearbox apart I found a few of the gears and
shift fork had unusual wear, so I replaced the lot.
But while it was at the mechanics I lost my license (until 2008) so the bike
must go to remove temptation.

 

Here's a tip for you...

When selling a bike, and trying to get the message across that it's
been well cared for, try to avoid posting images on a photobucket
account named 'psycho biker'.


HTH,

BF.

 

One of those people that thinks using the clutch to change gears is
optional?

Eh? Isn't it?

It's only a year and a half or so. If he was on, say, 9 points, and got
done for 45 over the limit, that's another 6 points, for a total of 15
points, which, from memory, attracts a year's mandatory suspension. Put
the additional 6 months' suspension for the 45 over on top of that, and
you're well into 2008 then...

 

If you get it fixed NOW it will only need the shift fork replaced (they bend
real easy), if you wait (like I did) it'll cost you a couple of thousand.

doesn't mean I ride like a psycho, just that I am a bit psychotic and I
ride, well that's what the voices tell me anyway.

welll

you will have to

*split the cases*

 

It's not a small job any way you look at it, but I have the workshop manual
and a Haynes manual if you want to borrow them

Gearbox rebuild needs the engine to come out and the top end removed
before you can split the cases.

If you reckon it's worth the gamble, it's pretty common to leave out
the two case bolts that sit beneath the barrels so that if you need to
do the gearbox again you can leave the top end intact.

However, if this fucks up the main bearings and the crank its your own
fault for listening to someone on a newsgroup

And if you need a manual, you can find it (as well as the parts fiche)
on the net if you look hard enough.
