Gearbox swap

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I managed to source a VERY low miles 2016 Tuono V4 Factory gearbox a few months ago.

It was on ebay from a USA seller (bike breaker) and it was up for a ridiculously low "buy it now" price.

So............I thought f**k it and bought it as a spare.

Well yesterday I decided as I was dropping the oil for a service that I would take the plunge and swap gearboxes too.

I am glad I did as the shift spring locating pin had worked loose and had backed out by around quarter of an inch (known ape problem).

The offending peg, bottom left>>>

	That's fairly handy the way the gearbox can come out on those.
