Cbr1000rr 08 gearbox problem

hi guys new on here I've got a gearbox problem and I'm going to strip it down to find the problem anyone on here ever had a gearbox issue , the problem I got is if you have it in any gear and pull the clutch in and turn the wheel it will catch and stop then release can't start the engine due to very loud knocking must be the gearbox anyone got any advice cheers John.......

 

Hi there

The third gear is known to be a weak point on these bikes, but normally only when the bike is being raced or tracked.

Just depends on how hard you have ridden it I suppose.

You'll need to split the engine though which is a bit of a pain, but easy enough if you have the tools and are not scared to get torn in.

I've just split my engine and have a gearbox sitting here in perfect condition if you do need 1 or any other parts from the engine just let me know.

 

Not sure what your reply was there mate?

 

I have know idea what all that was about lol sorry , I ride the bike hard so got to expect things like this to happen I'm sure it's the 3rd gear problem as well bit nervous about doing it but not paying a garage to fix it there want crazy money I might take you up on the parts thanks for the reply

 

Where abouts are you mate?

 

Cornwall

 

Haha exactly the opposite ends of the country

I'm up in Aberdeen at the moment

No issue if you need parts, but I could have given you a hand if closer.

 

Come on Colin, Its only 8 hours or so. Get yourself down there and give him a hand, take your surfboard and you can catch a few waves once you've sorted it.

 

Haha only surfing I'll be doing mate is in a warm sea in some hot country. Don't fancy it much around these coasts

 

Colin, the sea will be tropical in Cornwall compared to the sea off Aberdeen, just saying.

 

The Sea will be cold but Cornish pasty will sort you out

 

Haha. That's it Cornish pasty for a 10 hour drive. Must be worth it

 

I am halfway between you, share my garage and spread the forum love ❤. Meet and stay here

 

I've been swimming in Stonehaven harbour on New Years Day (near Aberdeen) - it was cold

I've also got a gearbox available in for sale section if needed
