Afternoon People Ill let you know what i did later...as I'm bloody fuming with myself at present. But does anyone know have the rod that connects the gear lever to the selector shaft. Im in desperate need, do let me know if you have one up for grabs. Im off for a bit to see if a local stealer has one thanx
thanks to you two. Ok time to come clean, nothing as good as new rear sets! imagine this.... you get in after a shopping day and you need a little unwind, so obviously you go for the cbr, for a quick sneak out for an hour. Get your gear on rush out back to take off disc lock, start her up then wheel her backwards out of the bike tent....KERRRCLUNKKKK!! **engine stops** WTF!! then it dawns on me...some silly twat (me) decided to put another lock on as it was going to be left for a few days. I didn't put it through the usual place (pillion pegs) It wouldn't reach as the cable was too short so i put it here....duh! I know..bloody useless, but I was tired in my defence. Well if you forget and wheel it back with lock on you bend the rod, which clunks the gears and stops engine. I shit myself as I thought the engine had locked until my stupidity dawned on me.
Luckily I've found my old 97 blade rod which is the same length, just not immaculate. at least i can ride again, feel a right pillock..and i never got my ride lol
Also zippy when making a bracket for my heat shield I hacksawed through the rear peg in about 2 mins with a blunt blade! Sawing that off wouldn't stop the bike being ridden either so I would re think that one mate. Oh and before I forget WHAT A NUMPTY!
