    To be honest mate if your gonna go down the road of fitting a new/part new box and planning on staying with the blade then best bet is to go with a nova unit. Especially when racing.

    The standard box is known to shit itself under hard use.

    Yeah but cost of nova just isn't worth it on the bike mate imo. Not out our level....

    They are crazy money.

    Same on zx10's - they can just go, others have no issue....

    It's a proper ball ache when it does though trust me...

    You can also replace damaged ones with gen honda parts, that's what I done.

    Money so much not in parts, it's just an engine out job unfortunately
