gear

HI all, I posted this in the yahoo groups and everyone seems to point me to Sean Morely here. Just posting here in edited forml for anyone else's thoughts. Thanks in advance Matt --- In [email protected], "mistermatt516" <mistermatt516@...> wrote: > > Hi All, > > This is my second...

I just bought my first bike, a 97 Vmax. I need to get some riding gear. So far I have just been borrowing my dad's but it is a bit too small and I want my own. I can't decide on what to go with. I would like to have somthing that will work in both cool and hot weather if that is possible. I...

Can someone please offer some advice to why my bike stalls when gear engaged, even when the bike is warm?

There is a cheap 94 here for sale but has 2nd gear probs , bike looks to be in good condition with 23 miles on her . What would it take and cost to fix ?:ummm:

Last month, a friend of a friend bought a 94 with 46,000 miles. Recently it developed a issue with 3rd gear. I rode it tonight and all other gears shift and lock in great. But 3rd gear will "try" to jump out under slight excelleration although never does:ummm: Only when the RPMS are up it seems...

I keep hearing about the second gear problems, but it seems like I am having the same problem in first. If I get on the throttle, it pops and jumps pretty good. Second seems to be perfectly solid. Is this just another variation of the same problem? Oh, the bike is an 86 if that makes a...

hello, great forum-i have a 97max with a bad 2nd gear,will continued use make matters worse? i try to go into third as quick as possible.also does anybody specialize in this repair?thanks

Are there any kits out there that will move the gear shift, rear brake lever and begs forward. When I am sitting on my 'Max the pegs hit me right at the bottom of my shins and it feels very uncomfortable. I noticed that on the front lower frame tubes there is a spot that looks ideal for this...

I found this on ebay today and thought that i would post - if you need to fix your 2nd gear splipping issue...

Any of the forum have experience changing the drive shaft yoke oil seal on the middle gear drive? Mine seams to have reached the end of it's life. The service manuals seem to indicate that the seal can be removed once the driveshaft, swingarm universal joint and and driveshaft yoke are removed...

There is a vmax on ebay that looks pretty decent for the price but the owner says it slips out of second when you get on it. Is this something that is easily fixed or are we talking about a whole new tranny? He put in the ad that it was a problem with that and a shim can cure it...is this...

Maybe this is just my lack of knowledge, but why hasn't someone created a way to put a 6th gear on a max? I do a lot of highway riding and would really like to drop the RPM's some times.. I know that their is the venture rear end swap, but I'd like to keep my current gearing and just add...

My max won't pull the front tire up in 1st gear unless I rev it up a bit and drop the clutch on it. Just cranking on it in 1st won't do it. My bike is bone stock. Is this normal or could my bike be out of tune? I wanted to run it on a dyno and think I may do that tomorrow night just to see...

o....k....... what is that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY_n5_9epmA

Hey guys, Checked the capacity in my owners manual and it shows 10 oz on the conversion chart for final gear refill. Well I can barely squeeze 8 oz's in. Is this right ? :ummm: No matter what surface I check it on, ( Thought originally I was on an unlevel surface) it pours out when I pull the...

Mark Saw somewhere that you had replaced this before ..can you link me to your old post? D

Hi guys, i have a problem with my bike, and it only occurs in 2nd. It is a 3/85 model, and when i give full power in 2nd, it quite often slips (just for a split moment) and then keeps pulling. someimes it can do this 2 or 3 times if i am really giving it a hard time. The bike has 112hp at...

Hi Guys I have a 1997 V-max with only 9000 miles on her. She wont go into 4th or 5 gear. Is seems as though the highest gear she will go into is 3rd. It holds fine in 3rd but when i try and shift, it just doesnt engage 4th or 5th. I bled the clutch and changed the oil but it still wont...
