Stupid question (and I feel stupid for asking); does the oil for your middle gear come from the crankcase or is there another area where you need to fill the middle gear. The reason I ask is I have a clear cover and it is very cloudy and I can only see fluid in about the bottom quarter of the...

I'm having a bit of trouble setting up my middle gear starting torque. .29-.36 ft lbs is spec. Problem is ft lb wrench doesn't go down that far so I converted to inch lbs (3.48-4.32) but my inch wrench only registers down to 20 in/lbs. I'm not able to find the correct tool for this measurement...

From the article: A British sniper from the elite SAS saved an 8-year-old boy and his father from an Islamic State executioner by shooting the executioner in the head last month. The SAS sniper team was reportedly tipped off to the execution in the Syrian desert by an Iraqi spy. When they...

Ok so I heard some strange noises behind the shifter side cover I take it off and find 3 of the counter sunk bolts heads broken off and just laying in there with one retainer completely off and only one bolt holding the other retainer. This ever happened to anyone before?

I knew my middle seat was damaged when I bought the bike but I finally got around to peeling the cover off today. It's pretty much destroyed. I could probably patch it back together or is it worth spending the $$$ on a relatively pricey used one? Later, Doug

Hi all Does anyone any good technique to remove the bigger taper bearing from the shaft without damaging it? Does anyone know the Koyo reference for that bearing? The smaller one (next to the Ujoint) is easily removed by sliding out but the other one doesn't budge from the shaft next to the...

Upon removal of the middle gear side cover I've discovered the cause of a noise in the gear box. I recovered a piece of a broken gear tooth from either the middle drive shaft gear or the middle pinion gear. So now it's time to get into the guts of this engine. I would appreciate a quick how to...

Hey, Guys. Need some help here: So the other day I was attempting to rebuild my clutch slave (attempted as in failed: slave's allen head bolts are seized on) and in the process I took off the middle gear cover. The Yamaha manual says not to let any oil out when it's taken off. well.... a good...

Offhand, does anyone know the dimensions of the crush washer on the bottom bolt of the middle gear cover? Mine seems to be weeping slightly and I wanted to replace it. Thanks!!

Getting ready to attempt to remove/replace the middle gear nut while everything is in the bike. Need advice on best way to do this. Put bike in gear, not in gear, etc.

How do you properly unstake the middle gear nut and also restake it? What tools do you use and what procedure? I want to remove and replace that nut in the engine. Also if its done in the engine willing the banging around on the nut cause any unwanted consequences on the tranny?

Checking to see if anyone is having a problem on a chain drive bike with the bolt at the middle gear bearing coming loose. After about 100miles the bolt starts to get loose. I have tried red locktight and staking the bolt, but still it backs out. Any ideas on how to solve the problem. :ummm...

Hey All, Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot, as it is my first post. This past summer I bought a 97 V-max, and have been chasing some minor engine oil leaks on it. I think I've got them all cleared up except one. It is hard for me to tell, but it appears that it comes out the...

working on getting my motor apart and was wondering what is the size of the big nut on the middle drive gear is and is there a trick to breaking it loose and also how do you loosen the 4 #40 torx screws that secure the metal tabs over the bearing,the heads of them are peened into a recess in the...

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...
