Hello all!

I'm not very knowledgeable where bikes are concerned but I do have a basic knowledge of mechanics, My 9 year old baby(XVS 650) broke down today,first time ever! the guy in the shop said the gearing on the end of the driveshaft is worn out, so I have to get the whole box as theyr'e sold as a package. About 12 hundred quid - OUCH!!! anyone know where I can get a second hand one or parts??? poor old girls not worth much more than that...

Here they sell the parts, not only the entire drive shaft, :

Perform a search in eBay.Perhaps you find used parts.

Cheers.

Ditto on eBay. You can probably find a used gearbox for next to nothing (comparably).

Might also ask your mechanic if you can source the parts yourself, because they are available separately (cmsnl.com).

Worth also checking the various PartFinder websites, or even going to breakers yards direct.
