Great re the gear availability and prices!!Originally Posted by Marshy
Ed, yep, new individual gears are on order now. They are pretty cheap too.
AFAIK, none of the Jap bikes have cassette style gearboxes. I thought they all were 'turn the motor upside down to get to the gearbox' style. But I don't know - in all my years of racing I've never had to do one before, which probably tells you something about the design of Japanese bikes compared to the Italians....
Not sure about the others but Google tells me my faithful ZX6 has thems cassetes playing like it's 1979!! hahaha
"In keeping with its racing heritage, the ZX-6R employs a cassette-type transmission that simplifies gearing changes at the track, reducing set-up time and allowing more time for riding. A slipper clutch allows quick downshifts without upsetting the rest of the chassis when reducing speed on corner entry."
