    Neutral light failing

    Not very difficult but I learned during the process, need long allen wrench (L-Key) to reach the two bolts connecting the switch assy. My toolkit has a socket set that accommodates various hex heads so I used that. To prevent any oil leaking, (happens when the old switch assy is removed) I...

    Neutral light failing

    I replaced the neutral switch assy (part #2S3-82540-00-00) and o-ring (part #93210-21001-00). Neutral indicators both working again.

    Shifting problem or normal? (2010 VMax)

    I have a Gen2. It appears an oil and filter change with Shell Rotella resolved my shifting (first gear) problem. I noticed my clutch and shifting felt a bit different after the Yamaha dealer performed a 12,000 mile service in which they used Yamalube. Seems some recommend an oil and filter...

    Both N's do not light up when the Max is at operating temps. On cold start-up they both work.

    Misery in Phoenix

    On a positive note, living in Hawaii on the Island of Oahu equates to year round riding and no animals jumping across the road trying to kill you. Although yesterday we had no trade winds so it was hot and muggy. But the ride, well, it was total bliss. Sorry, had to rub it in. My bad.

    Neutral light failing

    I have a similar problem, 2010 Vmax 1700 digital dash Neutral indicator functions normally on first start but stops working once bike warms up. Issue began when local dealer performed a 12,000 mile service including oil change. Could it be an oil viscosity issue? If so, any recommendation on...
