After assessing the damage to 1006 due to the tranny failure, it appears I will need about $200 worth of gears and a shift fork. I'll do some of the other...
FogartyB - It sounds like your damgage is minimal compared to most. Consider yourself lucky. After you've completely assessed the damage, please go to this...
I'll make sure I get the failure survey completed. I had about 7055 miles on the bike, used 20/50 Amsoil Vtwin synthetic since about 2500 miles. JJJ1006...

I bought some high intensity lights to replace the "stock" ones in the driving lights. PROBLEM! The stock ones have 2 red wires which I believe are the "hot"...
DO THESE TRANNYS SIEZE UP WHEN THE BIKES ... The average mileage for a lockup has been about 9000. There was one with a few hundred, and obviously others with...

Alan, "all the right things" for riding without a tranny rebush should read: "park it, shine it up, sit on it and say 'varoom, varoom', save money for tranny...
Frank (at koolbiker) has custom Smalley spiral snaprings that he worked to develop with Smalley. Regardless of bushing play, you need to get rid of the OEM...
"CAN YOU COMMENT ON THE ... BIKE ... BUSH ... I've replaced wheel bearings on one side each of the front and rear wheels. In both cases, the bearings did not...
I've read so many posts about tranny lockup that I can't remember most of them. I read several postings where the tranny was pulled and it was found to have...
I rebuilt my own transmission. you must have access to a lathe and a hone. It isn't a difficult repair. Another option seldom mentioned, just take the gears...
"is there a SINGLE definite cause of transmission lockup? Thanks. Dale" In my humble opinion, the problem is not a single thing, but a combination of factors: ...
After inspecting my tranny, 3rd output gear was in pieces, 4th gear input and output was damaged along with 1st gear input and 4/5 shift fork. Circlips were...
There's no easy answer to the tranny problem. The bushings were of inadeqaute material. The tolerances were not tightly controlled at assembly. The clips...
The recent discussions about the Super-X transmissions prompted by the failure of the tranny in #1006 has also resulted in a number of Transmission Surveys...
I'm in total agreement with Alan on this one. If anyone is inclined to forego the tranny rebuild at earliest opportunity, I suggest a trail run down a...
Fact is, the ***MAIN*** reason is, that the factory installed bushing tolerances were not tight enough (factory gears wobble, some more than others, some to...
The possibility of a transmission failure, not matter how remote, should be enough of an incentive for any Super X owners to get the tranny looked at...
Alan, also, it seems that many transmissions are coming in with 4th gears (both input and output) severly warn and wobbling. We have several transmissions in...
Dale, don't waste time with changing the to spiral clips, the trannys that need rebushing will eventially knock the spiral clips off. That's a fact. Do the job...
Guys, If your bike has loose gears to begin with, warm-ups won't prevent tranny failures. Also, synthetic didn't do jack either. This is old news from 2001. If...
Frank is basically right on all counts. Based on my observance of data provided by owners (not the physical examination of actual transmission components that...
