Hello as per my previous post I have a shot gearbox. I was selling the bike as spares or repair however it did not sell. My option is now to repair. I have been told by a garage this could be a easy fix by replacing a selector bearing? I have been quoted £40 for transport and diagnostics and if it were to be the bearing mentioned this would be £20 for the part plus labour to carry out. Does this sound right and would you consider?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. I refer you to my previous answer, Evo….. growell.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=tech&thread=1726&page=1#9274In particular,take a look at what member Honda (i.e. Dermot) had to say in the thread below: growell.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=engine&action=display&thread=808‘The fault can be repaired but at the age of our bikes it
is not really viable unless by DIY. This engine is not
easly dismantled for a beginner as it splits vertically which means
the thing is in loads of parts by the time you get to the
gears. Bike engines which spilt accross the casings dont
require the removal of the cyl's heads etc to get at the
gears. The required parts will be 2nd gear and its mate.
Cant remember which one that is. If yours is as bad as you
say it is likely to need a fork also. Second hand gears can
be a bit of a problem as ones that are not really very bad
look ok even to the trained eye. They may however still jump
out of gear. Dont let anyone tell you the selector fork is
worn and thats all you need. The reason the fork is worn
is because the gear is "leaning" on the fork. The gear should
not lean on the fork, it should stay engaged by itself untill
the selector mechanism moves it. If you can get a good engine
is the easiest fix.’On the other hand, if you feel that you can trust this garage to sort the problem, then give it a go. But to me their pricing sounds a bit optimistic.  Have you looked up the bearing they mention on the microfiche? Is it part 17? www.cmsnl.com/honda-ntv650-revere-1995-englandmkh_model3772/partslist/E__1600.html Anyone else care to comment? |

Hi Jake and thanks for the help. I have looked on the microfiche you attached and from what the garage explained it does appear to be part 17. I have not used the garage before but I have had some good comments from other motorcyclists.
