yamaha fazer 2002 gearbox

[carl_easykart]

hello everyone i picked up my first bike friday got a yamaha fazer i love it but its just the gearbox its realy clonky in first and second gear.. i have read up on this and its normal for the fazers to clonk in first and second but im seeing what all your thoughts are...

somtimes its that clonky it feels like i have not used the clutch and it just being forced into gear. the bike has warranty but i just like to know if this is normal?

thanks carl

thanks chris i just need to get used to it i think then, sometimes it changes gears perfect then the next time its a big clonk.

will try and change gear fast like you said next time..

apart from this im loving the bike.

thank you

i was asking the same question when i first got on my fazer. basically, its normal.

have your cluth lever slightly loose, i found that helped a little!

Fazer boxes aren't the best. I've however found short shifting 1st to 2nd helps, I find mine is a bit notchy 2nd to 3rd though. Meh! You'll never break it.

Balancing my carbs and sorting my exhaust leak helped the low rev pickup, which in turn helped my gearbox.

Good bikes though!

Mine was similar. It used to slip out of 2nd occasionally, under heavy acceleration too. Don't know where it went because it didn't end up in neutral. Just another neutral somewhere. Still shifted up into 3rd.

It'a a Yamaha thing, my TDM is the same.

My honda is just as bad as the yams. makes no difference if it clunks or not. BMW's dont tend to so it with cross cut gears.
