You could always splash out on a race style cassette gearbox where everything comes out in about 5 mins.........
let me guess, mucho spendy ?

Never bought one, but I can't imagine they would be cheap.let me guess, mucho spendy ?
Nice. So you went off the jetski/boat idea?
the spindle pins are for motor extraction...ive also made pads for under the swingarm when its built back upHow do you remove the wheel while it's on the stand?
it had a horrible ding in it so i cut it down...sounds like the devil spawned nowI like the little short can.
just as i thought motor upside down on the bench and after removing clutch and other bits off each crank end the lower case can be removed very easly...done this on a few bikes in the past including XS1100,GS1000 and the old classic 400/4. Get the motor on the bench and i can start stripping the frame/forks/swingarm ect as ime not happy about the last owners re-build quality after a fresh frame powder coating
Hey thanks for the offer bud like you ive done a few myself...iff i do find a rounded or worn dog or selector forks burnt the chances its been a wheelie toy and ile just buy a complete set of gears out of a low milage hound.While ime in the bottom ile remove the caps and see iff it warrants a complete tare down,to be honest ime leaning towards full strip atm anyway for the sake of an extra few nightsThe xs1100 gearbox you can get most of it out through the sump. I did 2nd gear on my XJ1100 (same engine) by draining the oil, removing the fuel tank and turning the whole bike over to stand on the bars and backreast, just like we all did with out bicycles as kids.
The bandit gearbox you have to split the cases but you don't have to strip the top end to do that. If all it needs is the dogs fixed I can do that for you, done a few now for different bikes.

Kind of defeats the object, doesn't it !!!Believe it or not, the big lump of a Pan European 1300 has a cassette gearbox... on the one bike you'd be least likely to want or need to fanny about with it
Mind you it's on the back of the engine and needs to have the engine out to work on it
I killed a clutch basket once but I don't see how you would trash the selectors unless bogging up clutchless gear changes.gears and dogs have been submited to hooligan one wheel abuse...
very easy...Its the dogs that give up 1st as they loose there slight undercut which has the job of "dragging" the gears together...once the dogs go the gear wants to fly out and the only thing stopping it slide along the input or output shafts are the fork and fork rings,hence why they always have a blued tinge through constant contact when the gears goneI killed a clutch basket once but I don't see how you would trash the selectors unless bogging up clutchless gear changes.
yep the very 1st "machine gun action" as you put it with the dogs is the one that puts the final nail in the gears coffin...missed gears not a problem but once the dogs edges get hit thats it. Unfortantly owners just put up with it and the damages gets worse.The edges knock off then gear selection becomes inconsistent. Damage continues until it won't stay engaged. That one's been taken a step further because whoever had it kept driving it in that gear and it's been jumping the dogs like a machine gun action. Many bikes don't have 2nd gear undercut much if at all, but the biggest reason 2nd is so common for going is that the 1st to 2nd change has the widest ratio difference, and the biggest shaft speed difference.
