For whom the bell tolls
Just wanted to ask around for those out of auckland if next time they are at the local bike wrecker they could ask as to the availability of any engines or gearbox parts for a 99-2002 Yamah R6.
Im not shit hot on exactly why i need but the guy I spoke too today said it sounds like the 'dogs' or 'selector forks' might not be ingaging properly.
Either way if you could ask your local wrecker so i can have some alternatives to going brandnew if i do decide to pay up and get it all sorted out.

I don't know squat about the insides of bikes, but Gordon Pullen did mention to me that a common fault with the r6 box is the return spring failing. ?Aparently it is quite a simple fix, but as I mentioned I don't know squat and "simple" for a mechanic translates to "guranteed to fuck it up" for me.

im not that newb.Originally Posted by Weasel
it's only in second gear, and the sensation was that off the gain jumping, or of the wheel spinning up momentarily, but only in 2nd gear, not in first or 3rd or any other gear.

Its not the clutch slipping? I had possibly a similar problem with my bike and found that fully synthetic oil was to blame. I changed to semi-synthetic motul 5100 and all was good.
For whom the bell tolls
that is a possibility because my clutch is worn (got 50k on it now) which im saving up to replace, but i'd assume that if it was the clutch then it would happen in first and third atleast aswell.

It is not so much the clutch slipping (from being worn) as the oil being too slipery for the clutch to grip, what sort of oil is in it?

Then why don't you have a kawasaki?

Sounds like you just need to find out what the problem is first...New or repaired parts are way cheaper than buying a new gearbox or engine....trust me
Kiwi back at home!
Have you checked the oil in your steering damper?! If thats wrong it will completely make your bike handle like poos

If its not going into gear, or it jumps out of gear, then you NEED some NEW parts. Dont go to all the trouble of stripping an engine & putting 2nd hand stuff into it- Either a shift fork is bent or the dogs are rounded off, a bit unusual for this bike- unless raced? Unless you have a big "S" on your chest & can look into the engine with xray vision, its going to have to come apart to some degree. I will email you a diagram of the box if you want.
