black end cans

[idl1975]

is there any way of tellng 100% if the gearbox needs attention or does it have to be stripped to find out, if so does any one know anywere in the northwest that could do the job,don't think me and the haynes are up to it. is this a "yamaha thing" (gearbox probs) heard of or know a few peoplewho have had box problems (YZFthundercat-fazer etc )

'90s Yamaha boxes are not GSX-R quality (OTOH, try any 'blade gearbox - putting it into first sounds like hitting the cases with a sledgehammer...), but they don't typically break unless due to other mechanical failure (e.g. chain coming off!), neglect ("what, you have to change the oil?") or incredible hamfooted/fisted operation over an extended period.

So unfortunately it appears your TRX has had a crap owner at some time in the past.

As said, broken chain could cause this. Col on this forum has found that his gear shafts are twisted after a chain break.

thanks youngy nice of you to offer but at the minute i just havn't got the money add in petrol money of about £50 round trip and we are looking at (no other problems aside) £400,though it pains me to say it, it could come down to pure economics,i only gave £1700 for the bike and iv'e already spent to much on it (so the missus say's) powder coated wheels, end cans, r6 brakes new chain and sprockets ,tires etc etc, i will have to go easy and see wot happens,still waiting for the emulsion tubes from kedo been a week and a half,so thats the next job...one step at a time....thanks again...dave

[gregs656]

nope, no permission needed. Just throw a couple up

[youngy]

Dave you need to open a photobucket or similar account and then copy and paste the img tag into a message. Or admit defeat and get a mod/admin nazi to do it for you.

If you decide to go ahead with the gearbox work I'll gladly do it.

You're very funny youngy shame you don't know what you're talking about you don't need a photobucket account on this new style forum, you can upload them directly from your PC ... PM already sent to heanoid
