This is what it's like, if anyone can give me a prognosis as to likely repair bill/time to strip etc
Meshed Gearbox Thanks for all the notes folks, but whichever way you look at it, it shouldn't be off the road AGAIN in such a short time.
My main problem is Yes, I know the likes of Neil@Cornerspeed, Sigma, JHP are around but they cost money and that's something I aint got. My rebuild took a year, but I only had to fork out a small sum for it...The labour alone for the gearbox job will probably cost me more than I paid for the rebuild.
Being without it for a year has hardened me up to the fact it aint as glamourous as I first thought and aint a brand you can rely on. This is my 2nd 748 and it's the second one that has sh@t itself in a major way before most bikes even need a battery change.
The events of this week have really p1ssed me off. I'm lucky my dad's leant me his trusty P Reg Japper so I can carry out my work this weekend.
Thanks for the kind offer Jools my friend. I know I can
always rely on the club
Guess I better get that 'Gutless Duke' avatar back up again...
