6 sped gearbox - easily possible?

Post by Thom » Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:58 pm

Hi guys, quick question, is there a gearbox that will swap straight into a trx850 with decent ratios and a 6 speed box? Or am i just dreaming too much?

I think it might be possible using the TDM 900. Not sure of the ratios and also no idea how difficult this could be. it is an avenue i will explore.
Before i start looking into it properly i need to get a spare engine to play with.

The YZF750 box can be used :D

Is the YZF gearbox any better than the tarctor gearbox on the TRX? First always goes in with a crunch and it is way short of the slickest gearbox i have ever used.
