yes furry it is the crankcase I can see inside the gearbox


Yes it's going to cost me big time



No to a TL 1000 motor

Ahhhhhhhhh not so good

TL motor not the cheepest option.... the whole total would work out to 1500-2000... still be the fastest 996 out there though

Anyway I know the "oh shit"/gutted feeling... be smiling again once it's fixed though

good reason to see if we can get the bike engineering boffins to invent an ultra light shaft drive.... Bloody chains-my gixxer 1100 has anhilated another one......

Nitemare mate:(

bish what do you expect when you ride a chain eating monster like yours (GSXR1100 = Busa's Daddy lol)

I notice you got the slabside model...just wondered...do they handle any better than the later ones...I went on a 1996 one (last ones they made) and going round corners was scary as fooook lol

I would hazzard a guess that they handle even worse, Unless setup properly.

My Gix750 was fine on the corners.

I've also been on a gsxr750 WN...it's a different beast m8...nothing like what the 1100 was on corners...prolly reason why when the SRAD series came along, they kept the 750 idea but dropped the 1100 for the Busa and then the gsxr1000.
