Hi All,
I would appreciate your thoughts and inputs on this...
So my bike has been running rough since it came out of storage over winter. :'( It's now had a 'no expense spared' service and check over to get it running smoothly without stuttering or misfiring. Now combustion-wise everything is running sweet!!!! but....
The bike is stuttering in 2nd gear. Like its jumping teeth?! :'( All other gears are fine and it changes gear no problem, but if I give it any throttle in 2nd it really stutters and the revs jump quite violently as it accelerates. No noises, clunks or whirring noises just a violent stutter.
I'm now pretty confident it has a mechanical gearbox fault :eek (assuming there are no electrics or sensors in the gearbox that would cut the engine intermittently)
What is likely to be the problem? and can I do any sort of diagnostics before taking the bike apart? It would be nice to have an idea of what I am looking for and parts I need to source before taking the bike apart.
I had the engine out before for a top end rebuild and am 50/50 if I just buy a replacement engine (£150) or do a gearbox rebuild? What do you think?
Cheers,
Brett
