Tiger 800 Gear Change Woe's

Have a look at this thread I dont know if its similar but could be worth a look at the spline and check everything is fine with the linkage
PS ignore the second page it's just all pisstaking

 

Second page is the best bit

 

Lol surely rule 1 is never lend your perfect running bike to anyone, coz they aint gonna love it like you do.
Hope its a simple fix for you

 

Never

 

Didnt mean to sound harsh, I just wouldnt best of luck sorting this out mate.

 

I think a word with the person who borrowed the bike is called for!

 

What the hell did he do to it?
Lesson learned - never do it!

 

If I borrow a Tool and break it I replace it. This is the unwritten agreement isnt it? I think its up to the guy who borrowed it to step up, or the Karma will get him.

 

My mates and I have a saying and it's very easy to understand "if you bend it you bend it". Don't have the full story so if I'm wrong apologies but if the person (can't say guy as it's not PC) who was very fortunate to have been loaned a bike brought it back in this condition they are obviously a but if a snide! Hope you get it sorted and the culprit coughs up,

 

How's the spannering going Brian ?

I watched both parts of the video. That chap did a decent repair to that broken pin ( if it holds up ).
What's the alternative ? Presumably it's a whole new assembly incorporating the pin. Which I would imagine is bl**dy expensive.

You can ride my bike if I can ride your wife/daughter, depending on which is fitter.

 

There can be a problem with the gear lever return spring in some bikes and I think it was a recall issue but unsure , I'd ring a dealer up and have the engine number to hand
