hello everyone! Recently bought a r1 02 5pw model and loved it right up until now! basically cutting a ling story short my gearbox is bolloxed 4th gear starting to engage/disengage under power not fuelling or electrical related as i know the feeling due to knackering my ktm this way!
So i have now gt no 4th gear alot of grinding noises and a crack just behind my front sprocket , can this area be welded or is it new case time?

Welcome to the forum, im not sure on the welding of that and not sure id like it welded if it were mine.
would you not be better sourcing another lump so you get gear box and lump good with just one outlay of ££££

Hello, sorry to hear about your gearbox, my name is Pete...sometimes.

Hellooooo ! Thanks for the replies Yeah was toying with the idea , the bike had 2nd gear amd 6th replaced in 2011 dont know if it would put pressure on the older gears ? Mine has only done 13000 miles rather find a case or bottom end , At least i know whats wrong with mine .

Although the laws of causality dictate there must be a why, I laugh in the face of causality and say why not.
