I have to say, I do find it a little ironic... the only reason I was hanging onto that bottom end was for gearbox spares!

It wasnt your old box it was the one i got out of the other bike.

Heres the damage:

Overpriced?

You got enough spares to just swap parts around then?

I have 2 other gearboxes to swap it with but they are both short ratio.

Anyone will to guess why it happened? i dont really want to put another one in just for it to happen again.

You had gear box oil in it aye?

Don't be offended if you did, lots of people think 2 stroke oils does the whole job.

Yup I had some semi synthetic 10w30 gbox oil IIRC, it wasn't completely fill.
Maybe something small broke and jammed the gears and just wreaked havoc

So i had put a new gearbox in and it seemed to be running well apart from the running rich issue so today i put a cdi in it that i knew was unrestricted and took out the airbox.
Instant transformation; heaps of power and it sounded amazing, got to love that induction growl.
So i decided to make the most of the nice weather and go for a ride, got close to Little River and the engine died and the rear locked up

So i guess while it was running far too rich with the airbox on it must have been a bit lean without it.
I will pull the cylinders off sometime this week and hope they are ok.
Seems like my near new vertex pistons will be throw aways
