gear

First things first, gotta thank Ost85vmax for sending me this switch setup... I really appreciate it bud!!:clapping: The first thing I did was to get the sensors figured out and I gotta also thank NHVmaxpower for his review and install because it saved me some time because he gave the tip about...

2006... less than 4000 miles on it. 2000 miles of that are mine. Got the bike last August, knew about the 2nd gear and put it through some paces without issue. Heading into winter rather than a vBoost filled blast I had a slip a time or two. Changed the oil, no more problems... now it's...

Easter Sunday, headed out 85 miles to my wife's uncles house. Kids loaded in the car, bike warmed up. I head out and shift into 3rd, clickity clack crunch grind. Rpms go up, bike slows down. Made it there and back by skipping 3rd altogether. Got home and tried to figure out what the FU?? is...

We've been talking all winter about what we are doing to our bikes getting ready for this riding season. But what about our gear? Has anybody bought new riding gear? I'd really like to get these boots... Alpinstars S-MX-1 And I put on a mirrored faceshield more suitable for Hooliganism.

Has anyone ever used one of these? They are cheap & I'm sure there are others guys like myself are always looking for another gear when your already in 5th . Any opinions on this? Comes in red or blue...

He paid $4200.00 for the bike no motor mods only this a exhaust kerker bike is clean. I friend of mind's bought 2000 vmax about a month ago he took the bike out for his 1st ride yesterday, He found these things wrong. 1st - Bike pops out of 2nd gear only when hard acceleration, if he go easy...

Yesterday, I replaced the filter, engine oil and gear oil. Had a new OEM crush washer for the engine plug but not for the gear oil plug (paid about $2.75 at the Yamaha Dealer...ouch !!!). Afterwards, a bit of a leak at the gear drain plug. Tightened a bit more and it seems to have stop...

...so after waiting the best part of 10 months to get my bike shipped, imported and complied here, I've only ridden about 1600 kms (1000 miles) and I can positively say that my second gear is gone. :bang head: I noticed it as soon as I started riding it back in October - it would 'jump' while...

Okay, I have started the project. It is my 93 Vmax with the bad Second gear. I purchased all of my parts online. On the parts fish for a 1993, they show a spacer or shim between the bearing and the first gear wheel. It is shown as item number 25. There are three item 25's shown under the parts...

I've read that using X-1R in the right proportions with engine oil and gear lube will provide for a much smoother gearbox, neutral is easier to find and the engine will probably run better. I understand this is NASA stuff. Website: www.x1r.com. I bought the X-1R engine treatment (yellow...

So I've got a '97 with ~20k miles that i picked up this summer. I rode it for about a month before second gear started skipping/slipping under full throttle at high rpm's. After researching here I concluded undercutting the tranny through Sean's shop this winter is the way to go. I continued to...

This may be operator error but I am not sure. The problem is when short shifting from first to second gear it will sometimes pop out of second gear. It never does this when revving the gears out longer or even under full throttle shifts.

Im getting an engine rattle/grind when accelerating through approx the 3200-3600 rpm range Any ideas? Seems to get worse when warmed up. The noise occurs in at least the first 3 gears. 2001 vmax, stock. 20k Miles. Sometimes sounds like gravel in the exhaust pipe.... Just trying to be...

Any one have a tranny gear set out of a VMax they would part with cheaply? Looks like VMax's have the 2nd gear issue same as early Ventures, which would leave other gears usable. I am interested in seeing if gears are swappable with Ventures. Looks like 4th & 5th are a little better in the...

Any of you guys experience anything like this? When I downshift into second from third, I get a knocking sound, it just started two days ago and is getting worse quickly, I stopped using second because it is starting to happen on the up shift as well. It only happens in second, there is no...

Anyone know.

Just to clarify the second gear issue. I'm checking out a Vmax on Sunday. From what it sounds like, I can just punch the accelerator hard through second and if it's bad it will just pop out at some time, correct? Are there any remedies that can be a band-aid for this issue that would cover it...

Could use a little help brothers, always enjoyed reading the posts on here but this is the first time for me so bear with me. Ready to go for a nice ride up Blue mtn. yesterday only bout 2 miles from home I'm pullin out from traffic light and can't shift to second gear. Pulled over and got it...

When i gear down or just back off the throttle i get this whine from the engine . Any idea what i should be checking I dont want to pull the bike apart and find an easy fix later Thanks

There's an '85 Vmax on Ebay that the owner says 2nd gear has been replaced with the "billeted titanium equivalent." Anyone ever hear of these titanium gears? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1985-V-MAX-All-Original-Yamaha-VMAX-/320915447596?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item4ab80d1f2c
