4th Gear Problems

Post by pulsar »

Hi Guys,

Me old Raptor has let me down for the 1st time in nearly nine years :(

When i select 4 gear i get drive then no drive, drive then no drive.

All other gears seem fine, i m thinking stripped gear or worn selector.

Does anyone else have any ideas ?

I know its going to be a major strip down to sort it out, does anyone know of a company in the Northants area who would be willing or able to undertake a gearbox repair.

Cheers

Dave

Baines Racing at Silverstone would be my choice. They used to race Raptors so know them quite well.

Thanks Guys

I have used Baines before, but their web site seems to be more about push bikes now !

I ve dropped them an email, have to wait & see.

:shock: ? well if they've been seduced by the dark side, next would be a reputable Suzuki dealer/workshop.
Down here on the border of the south east and south west england I'd go to Crescent Suzuki at Verwood for engine surgery/clever tweakery as they do have a good name.

JHS in Bristol - they're TL/SV specialists and would be much cheaper than a Suzuki dealer, and probably a lot better.
