NC29 Gearbox problem?
Hi everyone, i hope there is someone who can help!
I have a Honda CBR400RR NC29 and it is time for a winter strip and fix. The problem i have been having is when changing down on the gears sometimes in will not go in, if i then release the clutch slightly it will pop into gear! I have also had a few gears slip out on me. I am thinking this is maybe to do with the selector forks but as this is quite a major job, could anybody clarify this is the problem before i get knee deep in engine parts!! I have tried an oil change and clutch adjustment.
Thank you for any advice.

worn dogs in the 29 gearbox are a known problem, mainly in 2nd and 6th
