Suzuki DR-Z 400
Hi, I did a trip up to Chobe at the end of last year from Durbs and the bike (DRZ 400) was great up till I climbed Inchanga back towards Durban. The gearbox seized up briefly with the gear lever also jamming. The only way to limp home was to shake it which bounced the gears from 4-5 and into neutral every now and again (no grating etc).
Problem is now that the mechanics say that I've got about 3 gears that are buggered. Looking at a total cost of close to R8k apparently (still waiting for a quote 2 weeks later). Does anyone perhaps have a spare box I can buy some gears? Do I have to go original or do you get pirate gears? I'm a little miffed as I really can't afford to spend 8k right now, was hoping for a TV!
Cheers
Gary
