    What bike are you talking about? Honestly, the best person to do this is you but why do you need to change your transmission and what needs to be changed?

      I'm a mechanic, but I'm not in your area. Tell us what problem you're having and maybe it is something you can fix yourself and if not at least we can give you an idea what the problem is so you don't get ripped off. We need to know what year and model you have and the problem. It may just be an external problem, such as the shift mechanism or an issue with your clutch.

      To do work on the transmission the engine will need to be removed, completely disassembled and the cases split. For this to be done at a shop could run you over a thousand dollars, depending on their shop rate and what their mark up on parts is. You will also need a complete gasket set as most of the old gaskets will rip during disassembly. Is your bike worth that kind of investment?

      Depending on the model and the problem, it may be cheaper to change the engine for another known good engine or sell the bike and get another one without issues.
