spare gearbox

Post by Ozmadman »

Just bought a spare gearbox for my bike off ebay. It was advertised as a G2 box (G1150) ie for a 250 but I wasn't worried as I wanted it for internal spares should I need them and the only different part between the 350 and the 250 is the main shaft. Got a result, as it turns out the box, main shaft and 18 tooth output sprocket is in fact a 350 which has been built into a case with a 250 number on it. Seems ok as well, will see when I take it apart at some point, I also got an excellent used output bearing and oil seal sleeve from a different seller for £8.99 (inc postage) these are £70 new.
