transmision shifting fork-inside-do not have to remove trans to fix -just the cover and linkage----
The bike is in the shop and being repaired-I need to know approx time for these repairs to be billed properly. Thank you for your time.
Answer It really would be unfair for me to try to answer this question. I have done very little work on the new Indians and there are too many factors involved, like the experience of the mechanic, etc. Just talk to the service manager. He should have no problem in giving you a breakdown of parts and labor. You should really get that BEFORE you have a job done.
