Sorry about your predicament, you could try ringing Motorworks of Sherlock’s to price the shaft and while your at it ask them how much for a reconditioned box. That will give you a comparison and then decide, depending on whether you want to pay someone to replace the shaft, DIY it or if it’s more cost effective replace the whole gear box.

It's not a "common" problem. But it happens more frequently than it should.

Is your bike a Blue and white model ? have you owned it long ?.

i'm asking out of curiosity, as not to long ago i replaced a clutch on a bike which had torn the splines out. And the gearbox input shaft was fecked. So the new clutch wasn't going to last long before the same thing happened again.

But the owner said "just put another clutch plate in it, and i'll sell it while it's running"

For some reason,BWM made the clutch friction plate and gearbox input shaft so that the shaft only fitted 80ish% into the plate,causing wear.
I have recently replaced the clutch along with a 2nd hand g/box as my splines were worn as well (Y2K bike with 48K on clock).
You can get a clutch complete for about £154 from Sherlocks and a used g/box should cost about £100ish from ebay (as mentioned above).
Then all you have to is put it together.
