Hi, I own a CBR 150R 2003 and not too long ago I found myself without a third gear.
When I shift into third it feels very similar to being in neutral except for a very irritating rattling noise.
If my revs are high when shifting into third the bike will vibrate very aggressively until I drop the throttle or shift into fourth.
If revs are lower the bike will automatically shift me into fourth if my foot is clear of the shift lever.
I'm only a kid still and my mechanical skills are limited. But can someone please explain to me some possibilities of causes and/or fixes.
I found online someone saying that it could be a few gear cogs inside my transmission, but when I call Honda parts or local mechanics they have no information to offer me about them, except I can get a new gearbox for 1,600 baht and have to wait a month and a half for it to get to my location.
Probably not an option but fake parts or cheap alternatives mentioned highly appreciated because I live on a Thai wage and I don't have much money to spend fixing and hiring another bike while it's getting done...
What parts will I have to buy to fix it?
How much will it (approximately)cost?
Can I do it myself with the help of a maintenance manual?
Kind regards,
Shaun @ CM
