It is definatly a HRC box, the guy I had it off now has it and reckons it maybe something to do with shims or something a it won’t fully disengage the gears.
It has turned into a bit of a headache! He reckons he is going to sort it then send it me back so hopefully it will all be back together soonHaving a bit of a nightmare, I had to source a new gear selector drum as that was knackered. Now the gearbox that I got is different to the one thats come out. Between the guy I had the box off and the guy fitting it they think the new one is actually a HRC close ratio race gearbox from a British superbike which is slightly different.
I am now giving the engine and gearboxes to the guy I had the gearbox off and see if he can sort it.It is a shame, a fully kitted workshop would be very useful!
Everything is being changed, all gears, shafts and selector forksDropped the engine off today and should have it back thursday or friday
Then hopefully start putting it all back together the weekendWell the engine is now out
Many thanks to Radar for the help.
Honda do not like to make things easy!
Now to get the engine off to the guy thats fitting the gearbox then the joys of putting it all back together!Ok let me know then. I am hoping my mate will decide to do it by then but if not will start taking it out.
None as yet, have got the gearbox. A friend of mine is supposed to be doing it for me but seems to be dragging his feet so its still sat in the garage.
The other option I have is to take the engine out myself and there is the head mechanic at a Kawasaki dealer that will fit the box for £80. Not sure if I fancy taking the engine out myself though.Well the guy I have had the gearbox off said he would buy the good bits back off me as he has a few spares and with my bits could possibly make a whole one again.
Will see whats up with mine when its outYep agree with Champs, did about 1500 miles on mine before I sold the bike and there was loads of tread left and not squared off
