Transmission issue


P.S. In my case I wasn't riding it like an idiot and its flew apart twice.
 
My ignorance shining through -- what does it mean to miss a gear on a motorcycle ?

With car manual transmissions, I have read of racers shifting to too low a gear (say, second when should have been fourth) and have the engine come apart from the resultant overrev.
 
There is a space between each gear where there is no drive as you can't be in two gears at once. If you have ever shifted and released the clutch and didn't have any drive then you missed a gear. It's damaging to the transmission because the side engagement dog are grinding against each other and rounding the square corners off them. Two many missed gears and the worn gears want to reject each other instead of staying engaged, that causes "popping out gear".

Just waiting for the trailer to show up and take it away, no riding for a while I guess.

I'm no guru, but just wondering if the high revving could have dislodged that infamous cir-clip?

Bill,
Me thinks Patrick rebuilt his rear drive and had someone else do his tranny and Lush upgrades.
Just sayin . . .
 
I hope he is busy building another new garage for his new R3R!!!

If riding like an idiot is carefully shifting gears and meticulously maintaining your machine and thinking you are riding a magnificently engineered piece of British craftsmanship only to have gearbox fail with less than 50,000Klms is being also naïve, I confess to both,

Another confession plagiary I borrowed that description from an article on the V12 Rolls Royce Merlin powered Spitfire, I sort of thought I had the two wheeled equivalent
