Hi everybody. As the title says, I have had an output shaft disaster! My 5th gen stopped going foward one day, and I had to get it towed home. On pulling the side cover off the front sproket I discovered that I had NO splines left on my output shaft.That explains why I couldn't go forwards in any gear! I am left with a 3 choices... 1 sell the bike as is. 2 pull the motor and get another motor from the wreckers ($1000 aust) 3 pull the motor and get the mechanics to replace the shaft ($1200 aust) The last 2 involve me doing alot of spanner work,with time that I don't really have! So after 10 good years and almost 100,000klm it is probably time to just let go! Anyone want a very loved blue 5th gen? Project? Regards R.
I briefly thought about it,but it would be pretty unsafe,and painful to change sprockets as well. Thanks for the advice.
