transmission

Whats going on y'all. My VMax has been acting a little strange. It rides fine, but suddenly when I get around 6 or 7k RPM, the engine freely revs to redline without any power going to the wheel. When I roll off the throttle within that rev range, it FEELS like the bike wants to accelerate, and...

Well, I have come to the end of the road of trying to rebuild my Gen 1 VMAX. There was more wrong with the tranny than just the 2nd gear, and I can't justify spending all the money on the parts and time to fix it. So I am parting the bike out. The bike is completely disassembled, including the...

backstory, a few weeks ago i though i noticed some "hiccupping" on hard acceleration in at least 2nd and 3rd gear....after reading through the forums I figured it was clutch slippage and decided to change the oil and do the double D modification.... had another clutch spring and added it to...

Problem: When more than 1/3 throttle is applied, it revs up accompanied with a ratcheting gear noise, in multiple gears. Previously posted in clutch section and realized it's not clutch after removal and re-installation. Suspect bent shift forks, shift drum damage or gear dogs worn. I'm posting...

I purchased a wrecked 1997 VMAX to use for parts. The engine looks very clean from the outside and I noticed a marking on the right-hand side of trans. It says 3500 cm3. Can someone tell me what this marking is and what it identifies? :ummm: If I found this on a car, I would think it...

Winter is poking it's head so that means .... project time for the MAX. Main problem right now is first/second gear popping in neutral. Thinking of doing the work myself and wanted second opinion on complexity. Found a lot on info online but was wondering if there is a step by step tutorial out...

So, as I posted a year or so ago, I've got the dreaded 2nd gear problem. I've come to terms with my lower-middle-class status, and the fact that I'll have to do the repair myself. As part of the process, I'd like to create a video completely detailing the entire process. First question I'm...

Took the the bike out for a ride on the intersate for about 13 miles, when i got to the off ramp it would not go into first gear only down to netural and then it would grind a little going into 2nd, but all other gears are fine. I was told it might be a bent shift fork? Any ideas? Thanks.

Does ANYONE know someone who can let me borrow a transmission code scanner so I can scan my mountaineer for transmission codes?? I can't take it to a garage since its currently not on the road. It will only will shift once...after that it goes into neutral as a safety thing. I'll pay the...

Hi, I bought an 88 Vmax a few weeks ago and I've noticed that when shifting from 3rd to 4th there is a significant amount of vibration coming from the foot shifter in the split second when I've got the clutch pulled in and my foot has the shifter raised. It doesn't always do it but it happens...

So I've got a '97 with ~20k miles that i picked up this summer. I rode it for about a month before second gear started skipping/slipping under full throttle at high rpm's. After researching here I concluded undercutting the tranny through Sean's shop this winter is the way to go. I continued to...

Ok. I'm about to have this extra transmission worked on, but I can't make a final decision on what setup to go with. Please vote to help me decide because I have to get this thing sent out in the next two days. My driving style is: Not hyper-speed, but power sure is nice. I live in: North...

Possible Swap entire 09 XVZ13TF Venture transmission into VMAX? including the drum,fork,selector shaft..... Or what others years of Venture suitable for whole transmission swap without hassle? Don't mind loosing some power..

Any one have a tranny gear set out of a VMax they would part with cheaply? Looks like VMax's have the 2nd gear issue same as early Ventures, which would leave other gears usable. I am interested in seeing if gears are swappable with Ventures. Looks like 4th & 5th are a little better in the...

jump out of 2nd gear. got new gears and washers to shim 2nd gear. need specs. and diagram

Took test run today... Ten clicks... Shifts wayyy smoother now. Many many thanks to Sean morley for answering countless emails while i was doing it. Best part is no leftover bolts or screws or parts.... Always a good sign lol. I definitely recommend the.undercut trans to anyone with second gear...

I have the engine pulled out and fliped over. to just do trans work how far do I have to strip the engine down? Which side cases and other parts do I not have to remove just do do trans work? Thanks..2006 vmax this sucks..lol

Im sorry for not having pics but today i saw something unbelievable... I know a guy that is a friend of a friend that bought a Vmax and asked me if i could take a look at it to see if i could see anything suspicious or in need of repair/replace, summing it up he wanted me to check it out. He was...

So, Proud first time owner of a VMAX for one week... I admit, I like to get on her... but that's kind of the point. It's a 2000 carbon edition with double d clutch mod, solid motor mounts, and it's got one of morley's seats too. Favorite bike I've ever rode so far. Yesterday, I was gettin...
