Hi, I was hoping that I might get some answers as to what may of caused the gearbox on my bike to drop a gear....I have a GSXR1000 K9. I have done 13000 miles on this 3 year old bike, but it has now dropped 6th gear :( has anyone else come across this problem !!! I would appreciate any feedback as to what may of caused this and is it a common fault.
thanks.

13000 is nowt. Shocked

It may not be a catastrophic indecent and could possibly be a sticky lever/de-tent.

Can you get six when on the side stand?

Its a VERY uncommon problem but Honda actually have a name for it, its known as club foot syndrome.

Its caused by keeping your foot under the gear lever after shifting into top causing the shifter fork to wear against the 6th gear cog.

Easy repair, one shift fork and one gear.

Don't you just love it when you reply to a thread and the person never comes back because they discover they damaged their own bike. Thumbs Up

I think there should be 'waiting period' for advice from the Help Panel. Very Happy

Or maybe the OP has this:

Fucking hell it rises from the deep Laughing

Not slagging your riding ability, he told you the common cause of the issue. Now you can either fix it or use 5th as your highest gear, still good for 170mph Laughing

Just curious Sickpup, what's the source for that?

The only thing I have found online when searching relevant terms is this thread.

Regardless of the cause, it's either a fork, a gear (including the dogs) or the selector drum.

Unless a random bit of metl has come loose and got jammed in there, in which case you have even bigger problems.


You won't know until you strip it.

Years ago I was talking to a Honda UK mechanic about a grey import CB400 that had done this to top gear and how I couldn't work it out and he cracked up laughing. Said he had been involved with a bike that had excessive wear on the gear and selector fork so they rebuilt the box and it did it again. When the owner returned to the Power Rd workshop one of the mechanics saw him and saw his foot holding the gear lever up after he changed gear so they worked it out from there.

Oh, you mean I could well be right? Wind your neck in little girlie and realise that just because you don't like an answer doesn't mean it isn't right. Now go and grow up and maybe I won't call you little girlie anymore.

HTH Thumbs Up

From riding with pressure on the lever, filing away your selector fork.

Things don't break and give filings, constant pressure and metal on metal does. Like a selector fork constantly being pushed against your gearset
