I'm having the same issue with my 1985 v-max1200 when i hit it hard it slips out of second gear but re-in gauge,If i don't hit it hard it find..I had to under cut the gears on my 1982 Yamaha maxim xj1100 and never had that issue again but the issue is getting to the gears on the v-max how???Not...
Ill see if i can make it there,I have the 1985 vmax1200 very powerful..But i need to get lights,Ive been looking for the stock ones but no one has them..I'm located in Stevens Point WI
