strange gearbox occurance

[albertaduke]

How can you tell what day of the week the bike was assembled? It might be interesting to see what day of week these problem bikes were assembled or where they were assembled!

or by whom??

What is the solution to gearbox issues? And how much does it cost?

in this case the previous owner bought this roadster new on credit and after monthly taxes, loan, and insurance from what I heard he could not afford to put gas in the tank much less ride it much, a case of big bike dreams and little wallet capacity..

Patrick,
I was referring to your photo of birds in tree.
The fellow's case of WANT overloaded his ability to assess his own finances?
= woeful IMHO.

Guess I wil have to flog the sh!t out of my '16 over the next 1.5 years to make the gears, shims and forks wear inside the warranty period. Ahhh who am I kidding, I planned to do that anyway. I didn't buy this monster to ride it with kid gloves on.

That was exactly my thought with my 05, tried to get it to break within the first two years. Put nearly 50k miles on it, the only things that "broke" were the oil tank O rings.

I think mine was built on a wednesday too, before the first marijuana break.

my solution so far is a $2700 fix , not really a good solution but hopefully it will keep me riding in 2017

It's the one right after the marijuana break that you want . That's when productivity sloooows right down and they are reeaally concentrating on the orientation of them there circlips ! Friday afternoon at hinckley , they all thinking bout drinking beer and beating the missus !

I've been estimated (note estimated not quoted) a similar price by 2 dealers here for what I suspect is a similar problem with my box.
