Boxerman:

'Callout Fee

£26 for each 20 miles (or part) of the outward journey.'


£52 to most likely tell me the same thing.

Motoscot - do Beds, Bucks and Herts. No one else nearby except maybe Euroclassics in Northampton and I they don't have a website that I can find.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to travel to the East Midlands and give me a free appraisal?

Why don't you try removing the gear linkage first to see if that cures your problem. Many have had similar issues to the ones you describe me included.

Do a search on this section and it'll be fairly straight forward, you may need a heater gun/haidrier to release the locktite but it's a fairly easy process.

Clean, inspect, relube and re-fit.

Similar problem

I don't know exactly which bike this thread relates to but I have worked on a bike with a very similar issue. The problem was that the input shaft front bearing had collapsed. There is no way of predicting when a bearing is going to let go when changing a clutch. It can feel perfectly ok (you can't visually inspect it because it's inside the gearbox).

Happy riding
