Bike Rebuild

Sounds good , Jess. Maybe if you're going on any more of those off road adventures you should put some barkbusters on, too.

:) i needed it some tracks i went on..ehehehehe

Can we ask how much you spent on your upgrade?

i bought most stuff from teh states when the dollar was over 90 :) so it was very cheap. But I never keep tabs of what i spend.....easier on the mind= easier on the wallet :)

Sice you seem to be into the guts of your own machine I'll ask you. One thing I found out about my Busa once I had gotten used to it and started opening it up a bit, the bugger slips in and out of 3rd gear under fairly hard acceleration!!! Only 9000 genuine kms on the clock, any ideas as to what would have caused this to happen to such a young in mileage bike and also what appears to be a very well looked after example?? And that was 3rd gear NOT 2nd which you would expect!! One thing about this bike the gear change has always been a bit notchy too, quite hard to get used to..... I guess it's time to undercut the gearbox, any other suggestions??
Al

it probably is not sitting into gear properly due to the shifter/foot position
but i can tell you that when i put the late model biox in mine with new forks, drum and shafts, it transformed the shift.
It only takes one bang out of gear to bend the shaft slightly enough to create a problem, even teh fork.

It coudl also be that they are bending the shafts when origionaly building the engine and putting it together?

for the price of getting it undercut, get a whole used low mileage tranny from the states. My gearbox COMPLETE with all forks, shafts, drum, bearings and sprocket out of a 2000km old wreck cost 260$ AUD delivered to my door.
