Engine out and casing split to get to the gears! Feel for you, not what you wanted.
Is it deff gearbox, not engine misfire!?

So it is fine under 60?

Ride it as it is, off road I have only been near 60 once or twice and by near I mean quite far away.

I also have my doubts about the frame/fork alignment as well if I'm honest!
Definitely not a misfire, its a slip of some kind.

In a real turn of events, the seller text me to see if I got home ok and was mortified to hear about the 5th gear issue. He's offered to come and collect it tomorrow and give me a refund.

I'll believe that when I see it though!

I'll take my money back if he comes good.

I don't think its the clutch, it pulls absolutely fine throughout the range on all other gears - apparently other people have had similar issues with WRFs of the same year.

Shame as other than that and the suspect frame alignment, it seems like a good bike.

Well fuck me backwards with a rusty scaffold pole.

He turned up 10 minutes early with a van, money back, no fuss - a genuine nice guy.

I'm stunned.

The search for a bike continues...

But yours isn't a proper enduro bike.

Why would he want a street orientated bike to off-road on?
