hi, i'm a new member,recently got back into riding,,(last bike was a 900 (eliminator),,recently i crossed one off of the bucket list and bought a 94' max.
bike has 18,000 mi. and is very clean..recently i had the shifting issues and through this forum learned about the segment issue..using post from yukonerdave, and one2dmax,,thanks guys,i replaced the faulty parts easily but with one issue there was a pin missing,and i could not find it,i fished for it for over two hours with multiple magnetic magyvers with no luck...i called the guy i bought the bike from and he had the problem previous to me purchasing it,,and he just replaced the pin and re-bent the tab,but he also lost a pin he couldn't find...he never told me of that issue before the purchase,,and i went ahead and put about 1200 miles,some rather aggressive,,on while his pin was lost in there..so somewhere in the bike are two segment dowel pins i cannot find,,the bike runs great no noises,shifts like it's brand new,but i'm nervous as hell,,where could they be hiding that i can't catch them with a magnet,and is there any options other than removing the engine to look further,,is it true you cant drop the pan without engine removal?? sorry so long thanks jeter
