I have just blown the fkn gearbox again on another R1, what the hell is it with these bloody things, going to fix it and sell it, get something that will manage to do some wheelies without screwing the gearbox........

you hooligan

foreigneRS

that'll teach you to have yamaha crap - get honda quality

if you must do wheelies everywhere, get a supermoto instead of a sportsbike

are they that bad.

i'm thinking of getting an R6 but certainly not going to give it abuse as i have not got the experience.

i suppose with normal riding they will be ok.

just got rid of a blade!!!! Busa too big......second r1 to do it!! only just got it from my mate who has owned it from new and looked after it, 7k on the clock!!! God damn it........gonna buy another blade, maybe an gsxr 750 k3-k4..


feel bloody robbed.... no fair...built the last one back up myself (first time building a bike) not doing this one

cutch

iTrader: (1)

its the only way!!!

kiddie

how much do you want for it as it is..........

cutch

iTrader: (1)

52 plate, blue, couple of extras, .......much you offering????? To be honest i would be better off fixing it and selling it but..........if the offers good and i dont need the hasle fixing it.......

kiddie

You tell me, I speak to a mate tomorrow and let you know. As long as that is the only damage. Pm me if you'd rather?

S1rst

Probably just unlucky mate. Havnt really heard that much about gearboxes going that often on any jap bikes to be honest.

Go for a GSXR 750 next mate. I have a K6 750 and its bloody awesome. Handles like a dream and you can use the power much better than a 1000 imo, and ride it closer to its limits if thats your thing.

baba

not heard any complaint about the r1 boxes mate and a close friend rides the shit out of his!!!has mild tuning also and hes very handy on it.maybe unlucky?

BigErn

I know Lawnsy heat siezed the box on his in 4th doing the start/finish straight of the ring on the back wheel

poor bloke i bet your sick. There is nothing worse than when your toy breaks.

Ginge !

my mates got a new shape R1, he uses it for track days ect and he aint done a box yet and my nieghbour has a R1 as a daily runner thats also never done a gearbox

think your just unlucky mate

focuschivvy

the old mans had two r1's and an r7 and never had a problem with them, hes running nearly 200bhp through his current r1 yet still no problems.

maybe its just down to luck..

how hard are you on the box?!? never use the clutch?

i dont know of any boxes to go really!

SiZT

maybe its cause your wheelie caused areas of the gearbox to not get oil?

cutch

iTrader: (1)

Dont use the clutch alot, i must admit the bike is pretty much vertical when i am out on it. But I doubt that would cause it to damage the box due to no oil. I am pretty sure its going to be the same as last time, stripped a couple of teeth from second gear. So maybe pinging it up in second is doing it. Dunno, just severly pissed off i have managed to do another and i have only done a couple of thousand miles on it.

focuschivvy

if you like being on one wheel so much mate, id recommend getting one of these.....

CosworthGuy

Not quite an R1 But my yzf600r Thundercat blew the box in second gear. The garage told me that yamaha boxes were prone to it. Mine used to miss 2nd gear when you were thrashing it in first and into second. it turned out to be something to do with the selector. It had snapped and jammed all the gears. they bought a modified part from the yam dealer and its been bob on ever since

Now that I would of payed money to see

BigChuck

lol, don't forget the NOS

Garage19

Its a common problem on early R1s. I've just done mine too. The dogs wear and it won't stay in gear.

FYI the parts you will need to fx it including gaskets will come to Ł250 and it means engine out and cases split.

cossiecrew

lol another r1 box fucked if i had a quid for everytime i heard this story i would be loaded gixer all the way

cutch

Yip, done it before mate, but going back to work on wednesday, just knocked down the garage! Going to drop it off with a mate and he's going to do it for me while i'm away. Still going to be pricey though.....

cossiecrew

cutch you got pm

cutch

iTrader: (1)

Yeah got a few but they are hosted on bebo, and i lost the fkn originals! Was planning on making a couple yesterday but i blew the thing up! Dont know how to get them back off bebo?!?!?! Anyway, i am alot quicker nowadays so that was the reason for making some more new ones.

Well done on the high chair, i cant get my head around the feeling..doesntfeel right saying that when i first started wheelieing that didnt feel right either!!! haha

Heres my sorry attempt a last year at my first stoppie!!! No laughing nowŹ!

cossiecrew

cutch

iTrader: (1)

Yeah go ahead mate, i am going to buy a decent twin cam set up to do some vids off fast road riding when i get back, cant wait.....oh aye, i need a bike!! doh!

foreigneRS

the long straight on the nordschleife is not the start/finish although it is for tourist drives i suppose

bloody hooligan - wish i could do it
