oh- by the way- I am looking for seals for my bike, and happened to need this page for the mainshaft seal- it shows gear prices for the 900rr, but they should be comparable. try not to puke on yourself….ron ayers motorsports

my money says it's the shift dogs. they are cast on the side of the gears and mesh together or come apart to change ratios. Where the dogs come together, the tops no longer are sharp and square- they get rounded, and slightly tapered until the spinning force will spin them out of gear. I am 99% confident that this is your issue, as it was exactly what happened to my 900. unless there is excessive damage, you very well may be able to just replace a couple of snap rings, a seal or two, and two gears. but no less than the two gears that are slipping against each other.(its not just one that has the problem, it will be both)

I would personally find a low milage second hand parts, but here's a site where you can buy individual parts: http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Honda/CBR_600_F4/04/

I'm pretty certain this is your solution. I had the same problem as you describe and this was how I solved it.

Now, I'm off to look at the factory pro star for a 900rr!

I really doubt it would be the forks or the selector drum. The dogs for 2nd, 3rd and 6th are the ones that have most wear. On mine the forks were with in spec and only 1/10 of mm thinner than original. And that's after 11 years and 17000miles. I bought it as worn down track bike and raced it myself for 2 seasons.

Unfortunately I can see they do not sell individual dogs any more.
In my bike I replaced the tranny with a 05 one. Just be aware that the gear ratio is different because the f4i has more low end power. So if you haven't done any engine work you might suffer a bit on acceleration..

Could I use the f4i trans and then change the gearing to compensate it? Or I will just get a f4 trans
