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). http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/fullsizeoutput_1c0d_zpswebtjdia.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">  The offending peg, bottom left>>> http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/IMG_1942_zpsqutfcs8x.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/IMG_1943_zpskkgpka7o.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/4D06FCBB-C1EB-4B24-8FCC-638FBE64CB4D_zpsieqxh471.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/IMG_1946_zpspj2qowrj.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/A93C6D54-C705-4AE8-8412-5F942D1D122C_zpsobonqus4.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s43.photobucket.com/user/sjlzx9/media/IMG_1952_zpsinjiuu6n.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

That's fairly handy the way the gearbox can come out on those. ------------- Road Racing Ireland, Do It Between The Hedges |
