new to this bear with me would you , cheers
ive got the dreaded gearbox issue , however mine only jumps out of 4th @ the magic 2500rpm good and strong in all other gears , replaced Detent spring , no fix however it did make gear selection more crisp (positive) anyone got either a really good idea or a key to the Henckley factory?
I had similar symptom to what you've described - my bike momentarily lost drive then the gear would re-engage after I closed the throttle. It's hard to say what it is really but I had a circlip unseat which meant the dog gear disengaged and also forced the sgifting forks to flex hence the loss of drive. once the revs dropped it would pop back in - presumably because the sideways force of the shifting forks.
...A week after it first happened it went bang...I now have a reconstructed trannie...

@pete NZ I have to ask as I have been gazing at transmission photos. You said you replaced the detent spring, was it Broke? I am asking because you noted how much better she shifted.

Very sorry to hear, that yet another R3 Owner is having problems
My symptoms were different, but ended up with 3rd and 4th being unobtainable. A shattered 4th gear cog, teeth missing off other gears and a circlip out of place.
It's worth reading through #mr hunt's post (and other's).
Please detail what happens from here on in, as it helps others
Good Luck!
