I tackled it late last night in the end, was much easier than I thought. Just wiggled it all back in place patiently. All in all not a hard job really but there is no way I would have attempted it without help from deefer and fazerider so thank you both very much!
Now I'm just waiting for my oil level senser and a new bloody sump! I cracked the thing putting the sump plug back in, totally pissed off now I got to say! Another £8 for senser and £25 for the sump plus I have to wait till Tuesday for delivery.......

Cheers guys, she is very forgiving to my boy stuff, let's me fill the house with beer brewing kit, beer, tools, dogs and shooting gear. Her ex convinced her to let him bring his bike 12 floors up a high rise lift and stick it in their bedroom!
Ok so I got the forks and drum out, both look foc'd so that's good, is the damage on the track of the drum the track which relates to 2nd gear and the left fork? I didn't pay attention which fork was where (Oooopppps) and I broke the oil senser in the sump trying to put it out, lucky I'm off to fowlers in the morning for a gasket anyway. Putting it all back together looks bloody impossible in terms of getting the forks and drum in place, might leave it till tomorrow when the light is better. More wine now needed as my chest deflates from being so ace lol. Can't wait to get back on the road! Did my chain and sproket yesterday so after this just fork seals and the thing works again!

Right I'm finally tackling it! Due to being really skint I couldn't just fork out (forgive the pun) for a whole gear box to get my selector forks but I spotted a set of all three off eBay for a tenner and the drum I had bought already for around the same so for around £50 including gaskets and oil I should be all sorted.
I didn't want to have my engine open over night in the damp which has been another thing slowing me down so I brought the bike into my kitchen lol, girlfriend not bothered oddly....
So far it's all going well so I've stopped for some spaghetti bolognaise and a glass of wine or two, getting the bike up was a bit unnerving and I'm not going to enjoy being under it but sod it I'm sick of my Citroen berlingo and this was my only solution.
I've got a query for anyone who's done this before and that is how do I get the drum out? I've been wiggling and everything but it won't budge, is it accessed from underneath once the sump's off?

Fowlers?! In Bristol? I find them as dear as anywhere which is a shame as its five mins away

I'll do it myself, I avoid paying someone for something I can do myself but your right I'm not looking forward to it. One or two of my exhaust stud bolts already have helicoils in them so Im a little nervous, if all mounts and bolts where in good condition I'd feel much easier about it all. If I had an engine crane I'd also be much happier to swap the engine (hurt my back pretty bad lifting it last time)

Deefer, are you saying it's easier to swap the engine over than change the forks? I've had it out once and it was a right pain in the arse, for me at least.

Thanks for that, didn't think to look for complete kits. So in theory if I swap out the forks, drum and grind down the tab on the selector rod claw as well as fit a new chain and sproket I might be round this problem? Which fork corrisponds with second gear just out of interest?

I stopped using the bike when it developed the problem so no more damage is being done, I didn't realise a nackerd chain can do so much damage I thought it just feels horrid. As for 2nd gear, as soon as I release the clutch and start accelerating passed 3,000 revs or so it jumps out of gear into netruel. I've managed to get hold of another drum but can't find a set of forks, Ebay has a pair including the right and centre forks but no left fork

I read the guide, really well written and I'm very thankfull it's on here. So by selector mechanism do you mean the selector forks and drum? Also my chain is very worn and feels terrible but I've just not got round to fitting the new one. I don't think it would make it jump out of 2nd every time though, I can't use the gear at all.

After having various issues with my gears/clutch I've managed to get it down to only one issue with second gear, it jumps into neutral every time I give it throttle? I think it's one of the selector forks being bent after I tried to force it into gear when the selector rod jammed me in neutral a couple miles from my home. I miss my bike so bloody much now, it's been over two months since it worked and I've bought a Citroen berlingo to tide my over!

What problems do you get with second and sixth? Did you end up filing the end of the tab off?

Yes I've read through that many times already which is what leads me to think trying the selector forks and drum but saying that it didn't fix yours did it?

Hi everyone hopefully one of you will know what I need to do...Recently my bike has stranded me twice when accelerating from first into second gear, getting stuck in neutral during the gear change. The problem seemed to be a tab on the selector rod bending and preventing a gear change, I changed the rod and it fixed the issue for about a week or so before the same thing happened again.
Yet again I replaced the selector rod as well as the clutch friction plates, springs and cable. Now the bike decides to develop another fault in the form of jumping out of gear and going back into neutral, doesn't happen in first gear but at around 5-6 thousand rpm in jumps out of 2 and 3, probably the others too but I've been un able to get to that point.
I'm guessing there is a reason why the tab on the selector fork keeps bending and it's probably related to the new jumping out of gear issue. Does anyone have any advise?

Does anyone have experience converting a 600 to a 1000 using the fzs1000 engine amongst other things. I want to know how straight forward fitting the engine is as well as using r6 swing arm+ wheel and r1 forks+ wheel.......
