XJRider93 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Did you try eBay or googling the parts? that's what I do when i need a part, no matter the price, I always find what I'm looking for 99% of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 R6"s seem to have gearbox issues, as theres been a few posts on here over the years, It may be the selector pawl spring, this is outside the gearbox, behind the clutch basket, or the return spring, its in same area. this is the cheapest /easy fix, best to try these first, then its an engine split if these fail to remedy the change issues, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Wheels Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yep,,,, unfortunately R6's get the ball's driven outa them most of the time. 2nd gear gets the worst of the brunt,,,,,,, everyone throttles hard in 2nd usually all the way to 60mph......stupid I know but that what they do. Do the easy checks first and lets hope that sorts you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccarthy61 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 It was a easy repair the problem was caused by the bearing on the rod which houses the gear selector being ceased up so the gears were just missing. Lubricated the inside of the bearing with some z1 and adjusted the linkage now I get all gears so easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
