hi guys I've been having problems with the gearbox on my 850. I would like to strip it down and check it but haven't done this before, how big a job would it be? Thanks Wayne

Hi Wayne, You would need to remove the engine from the frame, remove the top end (head, cyinders, etc.) then split the crankcase to get at the gears, shifter drum, forks, etc. If you only need to get to the shifter mechanism, then that can be accessed after removing the clutch basket, oil pump, etc. without splitting the cases.
What are the symptoms you are experiencing?
Is the 850 a "G" or "E"?Last edited by Guest; 12-14-2010, 03:36 PM. -
As far as I know, there is no 850E.Originally posted by Suzuki_Don View Post
Your only choices are "G" or "GL".
Yep, ALL the 850s were shaft-driven.

Hi Don it was a replacement engine that i purchased and when fitted to the bike it ran sweet though the clutch wasn't working. Took the clutch casing offto have a look and there were no springs in the clutch. Put new springs in the clutch and couldn't get the bike to go into gear, I could get it to go into 1st gear but wouldn'tt go up into 2nd. I stress this was only done with the bike on the centre stand and trying to engage gears by rotating rear wheel. It is a g shaft drive. ThanksComment

ok, WHY must the top end be removed? I've done a bunch of transmissions, unless the cases split vertically( and I doubt this) it is an unnecessary step creating additional work without need.Comment

Good I do like less work if possible

The top end doesn't have to be removed.Originally posted by bobthebiker88 View Post
I've replaced a couple of transmissions in 1100s without even removing the valve cover...
I am fairly confident the 850 is the same...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game
