shaft

I searched and could not find very much... I hear a knocking at my starter clutch at idle. .. ( my carb's are synced ) ..funny thing if I play around with the sync and unbalance the carb's the knock goes away. Changing the starter clutch did nothing for the knocking so I tore off the engine...

I removed my hub and drive shaft to check for oil leaks. Now when I try to re-install it, I can't get it into the u-joint that has fallen down and to the side. Is there a trick for re-installing the drive shaft without taking much more apart?

I have an oil leak coming from the the boot where the drive shaft exits the engine. From the reading I've been doing here it could be a few things. What's the best way track it down, and what is the most common cause? I also noticed a 1/4 inch gap under the boot - it's not fitting snug. Is...

replacing my shifter shaft seal. Does anyone recommend using a sealer in addition to the round seal? Thanks! :ummm:

Hi, Over the last four years, I have had to replace the drive shaft seal twice and now it`s leaking again. I`m talking about the seal where the shaft exists the engine block, number 18 in the diagram below. Also, I`ve replaced the bearings 10 and 13, so they are fine. I _think_ it only...

Hey fellas, on the drive shaft on my 07 is a welded clip (u shaped) facing outward about an inch and roughly behind where the OG muffler would have mounted. Anyone have a clue as to what it's there for ? Chris.

Thought you might like to see one..

Two years ago i installed a venture driveshaft (pumpkin) I remember that when i got the parts i saw that the drive shaft bar of the venture was longer comper to my vmax original one...about one inch. Now i wanna order a longer swing arm from Tom from cycle one off and this is the isiuu: Tom...

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...

Hi all I can't recall so can anyone tell me the direction it rotates if seen from behind the bike please? Im almost sure its clockwise but im having a blank and need some other dudes input on this... Thanks

The output shaft is held into the engine block with 3 bolts. The bolts are arranged 120 degrees apart. 12, 4, and 8 o'clock. One of the bolts gets a thick washer behind the head. Anyone know the purpose of this washer? Can anyone confirm what position this washer gets installed in: 12, 4, or 8...

Hey guys, I need a little help. I couldnt find in search. I installed a braced & notched swingarm,and when I go to put FD back on, how do I know if the drive shaft meshes with the yoke. I think I got it, but I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it, if I got it right. I've pull the rubber...

I split my cases to repair the notorious second gear issue. Since getting all my parts back from Sean today, I started reassembly and came to a snag in the process. My book (clymers) says there is supposed to be a timing mark on the main drive gear on the crank and a mark on the balancer shaft...

what was the first year ? model # and who made it? I found some older bike pictures and was amazed at what I saw. Not too sure if the pictures I have are the first shaft drives, but might be Gannon

Hey guys, is there an "easiest" way to get to shifter shaft seal to replace it? Or a quick fix that will get me through the season? I just got all the bugs worked out of my carbs and went out for a satisfying asphalt rip. Upon my return home I saw a drop fall from my shifter shaft. I took...

im thinking of lenghtening and bracing my vmax's swingarm over the winter. i'd like to use a longer shaft off another yamaha instead of fabricating one. does anyone have any info? xs? fjr? obviously the shaft lenght difference would determine the swingarm lenght difference... thanks

..just thought I would share this...I have been getting my spare parts from a 96 donor.. I needed the shift drum/forks (gouge in the drum) and the Middle Trans (bad first wheel/gear).... So I just got all trans parts.. Was going to keep all 96 parts together = but discovered the 96 trans shaft...

...Found another issue..? Here's a pic of the shift drum... Only one spot I found to be mucked up... What do you think?.. Can I clean it up or should I just get a replacement? Also... - any good info on the second gear issue and proper shimming..etc..? I have to replace the bearings on...

Tonight I decided to change my oil and after I did, I put the bike up on the centre stand and put it in first gear and then in 2nd to see if it shifted any smoother with the amsoil synthetic. When I let the clutch out in 1st gear and just let the tire spin, I can hear the driveshaft clunking...

I checked fiche on ronayers to see if there were replacable bushings or something for the butterfly shafts but didn't see anything. I'm leaking at the ends of the shafts on a couple carbs. Are there bushings in there or do the shafts ride directly in the carb body? If bushings, where do you...
