Just wondered if anybody could give me a rough idea how much I can expect to pay to pay to fix my bike.
Ive put up with this a while but its doing my head in.
Sometimes I struggle to get into 3rd gear and it mainly happens when wheeling or when im pushing hard.
I know its a engine strip down so no it going to hurt
Gaskets alone aint cheap and I hate to think what the required box parts will be.

Probably around £60 an hour labour, maybe a bit less from a smaller dealer/garage.

It's a lot of work. You could save a lot by stripping the bike down and removing the engine yourself and just taking that to the shop. I'd say you might halve the bill that way.

Take to Kev @ Projex.
He charges an insane £25/hr and he does a far better job than almost anyone else.

I'd be surprised if you've fooked the box. More likely just a selector or the like.
