Stuck in 6th gear

[Mr K]

Not good.

 

[Sgt Bilco]

teeth snapped in gearbox
oil is full of metal

Rebuild coming right up! Rudimoto, you are a star mate and you are shit hot at taking the back of the bike off

 

[wreck diver]

Good luck for a speedy recovery Chris,at least you will know everything has been rebuilt for Alaska.

 

[ihandyman247]

So Mr. Chris
How is everything going with that her box , are you winning ?
I hope that everything goes well

 

[Sgt Bilco]

Replacement gearbox on it's way from Motorworks and the old one on it's way to Scrimiger for a rebuild. I just don't have the time to wait for him to do it so I have to suck up the cost. It does mean I'll have a nice rebuilt box on the shelf just in case

Seems that 6th gear just disintegrated and spread itself all over the inside Never heard of this before so I guess it's just one of those things and at least she'll be 100% for Alaska and the next 70,000 glorious miles which is the most important thing.

Great work rudiemoto, above and beyond the call of duty. I can't recommend him and the lads at Adventure Bike Warehouse high enough

 

[Aidan1150]

Kind of bad luck and good luck all rolled into one if you see what I mean Chris.

Bummer about the cost, but better happen at home than far far away.

 

[CuzGS]

Just keep feeding Jono pies until he sorts it mate

Hope its not too much of a drama,

I agree entirely on the age thing, my GSA now has 42 k on it and hasnt missed a beat, and it gets a damn good caning too

Had Steve rebuild the box on mine, done a great job, I would consider fitting the rebuilt box in for the Alaska trip, a 2nd hand box is a bit of a unknown, a box rebuilt by steve you can depend on, keep the 2nd one on the shelf as a spare, good luck with the trip

That would be the best way forward but time unfortunately time dictates otherwise. I don't think he can get the parts until next week and that is cutting it too tight. Anyway, rudiemoto will set fire to the fecking thing if it sits on his bench any longer

Steve did an 1100 gearbox for me a few years ago and it was superb so I may change it when I get from Alaska

 

[patzx12]

I had a gearbox in the for sale late 05
When my GB failed the shaft and bearing came through the housing.

 

[Vern]

I'll have you know sir, that my 1100 has never,ever eaten it's 6th gear

 

[Blobby]

....I just don't have the time to wait for him to do it so I have to suck up the cost....

And you sound so chilled about it too. Like your no fuss, just get it fixed and move on approach. Bad luck for sure re 6th gear. Enjoy your next trip and next 70k miles.

 

[Rasher]

As all the gears have similar mileage on them should they all be replaced, or is it likely that 6th gear gets the most wear / load?

I always thought gearbox rebuilds were for the bearings, seals and maybe selectors and the rest of it lasted pretty much forever on any bike

I always have a worry with "rebuilt" and "Reconditioned" as it can mean anything from everybar-the-cases being replaced (rare) to some-arse-wiped-a-rag-over-it.

 

[Giles]

I always have a worry

About everything Rasher ....

There is rebuilt and rebuilt Rasher and it depends on who's doing it. If Mr Scrimiger has had a hand in rebuilding it, you can bet your bottom dollar that everything will be checked out and it will be far better that the original offering

Totally agree, mine is bloody amazing now.

[Sgt Bilco]

Had a good look at the gearbox today and as Aidan1150 once said......carnage.

It would seem the dog doo daa failed and spead itself unevenly through the box causing all sorts of teeth to be removed Jonno managed to dig some bits out but I think the whole thing is for the scrap bin by the looks of it

On the plus side, the new gearbox is super smooth as is the new clutch and FD If carlsberg made GS's...........
