Help !!
Just bought a 2001 FZS 600 last week thought I had a gem, only 17,000 miles full service history one careful only just used for parish rounds etc etc. Hmm bike jumped out of second then won't select first loads of false neutrals, gearbox sounds terrible and to top it off back wheel locked solid during downshift and had to walk home get van and pick the bugger up ! Is there a common fault with these gearboxes ? Am I going to have to pull the engine out and replace the whole box if so are cheap recons available. Would appreciate any advice with this bike haven't had a chance to bond with it yet and now my wallet is sweating.
Cheers :'(
