gear shifting problem

[highestgrade]

well for who doesn't know my latest issue... https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/gen-ii-busa-information/118453-help-gear-box-not-down-shifting.html ...i'm goin to take the bike to work tomorrow...i work in a auto a/c shop so i got tools, I'm wondering if i should just open it up...what would you do?

I don't think your going to be able to ride to work "open it up" and ride home in the same day.

I agree; pulling a Busa tranny is not a simple task...

 

[highestgrade]

i got it to work guys....that was a fast ride...i can leave it in work...secured...my workplace is her home

 

[NickSully]

I have to ask; is your bike not under warranty? ???

 

[HotFoot]

I would go ahead and get all the gaskets ordered so that won't
Hold you up when its time to put in back together

 

[BusaBlue]

I would have someone with experience do it. Watch them if you can.

Myself, I'd take it to my mechanic.
Busa transmission rebuilding is a little deep for me. Tires, brakes, oil changes, etc.. I'll do, motor innards are a bit much.

Just to give you an idea of just how deep you'll be-make certain you have a manual on hand and don't skimp on the new c-clips in the tranny. If you've worked on other 4 cylinders bikes it not too bad..... The pistons & bearings were the reason for this split,but while I was this far I also replaced all of the components related to 2nd gear; shift fork, gear,slider gear,etc. 400 plus runs at the end of the '07 season hitting nearly every 1/8th & 1/4 mile races along with every other Wed.nite test & tune so I'm sure the extra $400 in parts while I was open seemed like a good idea??? If you take your time and make sure you have the time to do it right its an amazing feeling when your done and take it out on that first ride

wow, it's all one piece. didn't know that. how difficult is it to install a big bore kit? i'd assume pretty straightforward if you can split the motor like that. looks fun.

Probably fun the 1st time... but if and when you have problems, not so fun the 2nd and 3rd time.

I"ve done 30 pluss engines top to bottom, I suggest you spend your money on an experienced builder. One small clip jumps out and you could lose the whole motor !

 

[suzuka1980]

wow...amazing...i will never and can never do that. I will be sobbing at a corner of the garage if I find my engine in bits and pieces like this.

It's allway's cool to see a hammer sitting next to a dissambled motor It look's the same as mine when I did it. Good pic's.

Looks good, what are you using for assembly lube??

 

[maddog03]

I hope like hell that table saw isn"t part of the "machining process" to refurb that bussa!
