Steve gets to do a lot of the gearbox stuff for the main dealers coz he's (a) cheap and the dealer can make money on it (b) he knows what he's doing so they get no comeback. May be worth checking and bung him a couple of quid while the box is there ??
Aha! Now that sounds promising.
I'll have a chat with the service wallahs at the stealer then.
It is sort of a relief to find that this happens to people other than me. My bike is limited to track use and so it gets nothing but a caning. The transmission has about 47,000 miles.
During the last two race days, in fifth gear it would occasionally display what is described at the top of this thread, only in fifth but not every time or even every lap. It was never very bad, only one or two skips. By the end of the second race day the problem seemed to have disappeared.
The bike will be coming apart at the end of the season to check the clutch so it looks like a good opportunity to check the gear clusters as well.
If enough is enough and more is better than too much should be just about right.
