neutral

Hey everyone, New to Vmaxs, picked my 05 up in January. Bike has 17k miles and is clean and seamed very well maintained. I couldn’t find anything on this topic. Every time I kick the bike into first gear from neutral the bike pulls forward just a bit. It will do this hot or cold. Clutch...

So, I'm new to V-Maxes, and picked up my 02 about a month ago. I've gone on some short rides and it's been great, probably only put 100 miles on it so far though. Today, I met my wife for dinner in town, which was the longest ride I have had on it so far (20 miles each way). Everything seemed...

Good morning everyone, does anyone have a gear indicator/neutral switch for a Yamaha Venture Royal that they are willing to sell? I need one that is in very good to excellent condition. The Yamaha part# is either 41R-82540-02-00 or 41R-82540-01-00 depending on which oem parts site that you...

OK guys,, After changing out my clutch master cylinder (MC), everything seems to be working great. So I changed out my brake MC also, (wanted it to look and repond as a new unit should). I figured, why take a chance with these items. The Previous Owner (PO), looks like he had a hard on, for the...

So I"m riding along in 5th gear for 3 miles and when I come to a red light I cannot downshift at all. Roll to a stop and shifter wont move. I take the linkage off and try to move with pliers and just a little but didn't really feel anything move. Put the linkage back on and start to take off in...

Can pull the clutch in and start the bike. The only way now, is it has to be in neutral. Should I be looking at the kick stand switch as the culprit?

I just inherited a 2001 Vmax with 40k miles thats been sitting in a garage for six or so years. Pulled the carbs, flushed the lines, sealed the gas tank ect and now that i have everything back on I started her up to find that I cant get it in gear. I can start in neutral, pull the clutch and...

Hello all. I've just purchased an 06 VMAX -- ohh its all I knew it would be. But, I've got an issue dropping into neutral. running, not running, sitting still and or slowly rolling to a stop. nothing makes difference. There is zero clutch issues. nothing other than this...

Just did the double D clutch upgrade. I left the half clutch in the back so I'd have some slipping not to break any parts. But it won't go into Nuetral when the bike is running. When the bike is off it goes into N without an issue. Had it apart to check 3 times now and I can't figure it out for...

I normally shift to neutral when I come to a stop light and I know I'll be sitting at the light for a few minutes but I'm wondering if this is the best practice. So my question is what is best for the bike in terms of clutch/transmission wear and tear or for general safety ? Thanks in advance...

My transmission pops back in neutral in 1st and second gear most of the time at low speed just pulling off at red light or stop. I'm thinking it's time to do the tranny change ( hmm that don't sound right ;-) ) and go undercut gears. Cold weather is coming and I'm thinking about doing the...

Hi, today my vmax jerked and stalled when I first shifted from neutral to 1st with the clutch lever pulled in, the side stand was up. This is the first time and only time it's done it, normally get a small clunk and jerk but not like this. It had a new clutch with full size friction disc and...

The previous owner has grounded the wire going to the neutral switch so that the neutral switch stays on all the time. This seems to override all the other safety switches also. What is involved in replacing the neutral switch? I was hoping that I didn't have to take the cover off behind the...

I've only had my Vmax out a handful of times since picking it up a few months ago. I really only have one issue with the bike. It's damn near impossible to get into neutral. Has anyone experienced the same problem and how to fix it? Thanks

I decided I wanted to do this mod. This is a mod that will light the brake lights when you are in NEUTRAL, only if the KICKSTAND is UP. I first discovered rear brake modulators, and realized that would be a good safety addition. Those send various flashing patterns to the rear brakes when...

Finding neutral s like butter when the bike is cold, but after longer rides it seems to get clanky and harder to find neutral?? Finicky.

I thought I was in neutral and let the clutch out quickly while stopped, and now the neutral light is out. At first impression, would you think this is a fuse or the light itself?

Alright, so here's something that confuses me. My 2006 Vmax has always been extremely difficult to push/roll when the bike is not running. This is regardless of holding clutch in or neutral. Being my first shaft driven bike I figured this might be the norm. (However , as i think about it, I...

When I am a stop and I go from neutral to 1st I almost always experience a forward jerking motion on the bike. As I have no prior bike/riding experience; is this normal? Does even sound familiar to anyone?

I read lots post about couldn't shift into 2nd gear, but I haven't see any post regarding this issue yet. what happen was I was on 2nd gear around 6k rpm, then shift into 3rd, but it pop into neutral ( neutral light is not on), and I try to shift into 3rd again, I heard gear try to engage but...
