| after a week of slowly taking it to bits, i got down to the problem: broken up needle bearing on the 5th gear input shaft.
it's not obvious why it failed, but it did and so i have to replace it. trouble is the input shaft and 5th gear are damaged, so they will also need to be replaced . . . . . .
i'm lucky enough to have a good friend who lent me his 99 SV650S, but i miss my Duc . . . . . . .
anyone got a Duc transmission for sale? |
