    R1150GS Gearbox Issues -- Stuck in Neutral

    What went wrong / Why did it happen? The catch plate on the shift shaft bent and the spot welds broke loose. The day before the gearbox gave up the ghost I had a small off. The bike landed on the left hand side, same as shift lever, on rocky terrain. The aluminum pillion peg on that side...

    R1150GS Gearbox Issues -- Stuck in Neutral

    I sent the offending selector shaft of to @Jughead in PE at Dual Sport Motorcycle Clinic. He straightened the catchplate and welded it all back together. I also got a set of bearings and oil seals for the box from him. Re-assembled the box and all back together. Took the "Vet Tannie" out for...

    The story so far ... As I split the case, this spring was came loose, but very possible that it came undone as a result of splitting the case. This shaft can rotate freely without engaging the arm and guide plate, I assume they are supposed to move as a unit. This in turn has caused the coil...

    @Welsh, @Jughead, At 50kkm, would you replace the clutch by default or does it depend on condition? Are there specified wear specs?

    R1150GS Gearbox Issues -- Stuck in Neutral

    Naand Honde, I recently bought a R1150GS from one of the forum members here. Absolutely love the bike. Unfortunately the gearbox let me down the other day. The shift lever started feeling soft, up and down, still working for about 5 minutes after I noticed this, then nothing. When it stopped...

    2013 Suzuki DR650 for sale [SOLD]

    You are more than welcome to make a public offer on this fred, that way the other dogs would be able to see what a split sale would look like. For example:  Nismark offers R10 000 ( :o) for the tank, so the bike with stock tank goes for R35000
