Re: Frame repair……..

Splines are fine on this one apparently! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296251588209?itmmeta=01HR79ECDXH5E2FKJMGWW21Y9F&hash=item44f9f87e71:g:E-YAAOSwgMJl3Gcj&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0CkpuOnWhM%2BOuaOS%2BYfLShIbQeQDNlJA97ZlgUCs2DbB8LfoyehwQqQl0rl8e3C5%2BkNs6kWZFSRUZFNbc9mkczX7ryWrYWPjvJt8kGN4XUHS7B4AuAcnq...

I did miss it! Do they definitely fit or does it need machining?

Re: Frame repair……..

Those splines are definitely a Suzuki weak spot. It's bloody annoying on my X7. I have a not quite as bad shaft for it, but the engine has just been rebuilt (before I got the replacement shaft, which are like hens' teeth) and it's running quite nicely! Eric, you are doing a great job. You missed th...

I investigated repairs etc (with the usual conflicting opinions on that) and there were lots of (in some cases as bad) used ones at ridiculous money but eventually got a good gearbox from G...

GSX1000SZ

Interesting to follow and see what this goes for as it had a low reserve (already past that at £3955), just to see where prices are at.
