gearbox...

[woodyuk]

hi everyone, just after getting my bike back from an Aprilia Dealership for a full service (£885 :( ), 60miles down the road, my gearbox blew n stuck in 6th gear. Just had it taken apart by my reliable engine rebuilder who says its gonna take £180 worth of gearbox parts to fix it! its drivin me mad cos i cant live without my bike, but cant afford the parts!!!

does anybody have a second had AM6 gearbox for sale?? or know of anybody/where with one in the uk? peferably in good condition? i will pay good money.

cheers

Do you need the entire bottom end or just the set of gears?

£880 for a service, you got robbed m8.

Not sure where you could get gears from. What year is your bike?
