shift

Any of you guys have issues with the harland shift light? This is not my first install. previous one works perfect. This one, when i start the bike doesnt run on all cylinders. I undid the green/tach wire from the cluster and bike ran perfect, then touch the wire back to the grey on original...

my gf just gave me a vmax 2001 i have no clue the shift pattern trying to figure out to get in neutral agn lol

Heading says it all. I have no clue why this is happening. I had just replaced the segment and sheared the index pin which caused the gears to be out of alignment. I replaced the pin and took the bike for a short spin and checked all gears (all good). The next day I lost everything above 2nd...

Nothing is wrong with it. It's just that the space provided from the foot peg to the shift lever is too close imo. I wear boots when riding and doesn't provide alot of clearance when shifting; especially when going from first to second. Is there an after market shift lever, that provides more...

Been looking for a waterproof shift light with little success. Anyone had any experience with this one on eBay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260654647715&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I have a Python shift light. I wash my bike and I think I must have got the shift light wet. At first it would light up randomly then the next day (hoping it would dry out) I checked it and now I get nothing. My question is has anyone had this issue before? Can I save it? Or should I plan on...

...Found another issue..? Here's a pic of the shift drum... Only one spot I found to be mucked up... What do you think?.. Can I clean it up or should I just get a replacement? Also... - any good info on the second gear issue and proper shimming..etc..? I have to replace the bearings on...

Ideas?

Took the bike for a 20 mile round trip just to get away for a few minutes. Headed I-275 South to the last exit before the Skyway Bridge. Made a U and hit the on ramp to go North. I thought, I'd really romp it since it was well warmed up. Ran first till I saw 9,000, went for second...

Price?/instalation difficulty?/actual 1/4 mile improvement?/How it works exactly???? Is it worth it? plus what are some easy ways to increase acceleration? ( 1/4 mile times ) I would be willing to sacrifice some top end. According to the speedo I've had her up to 150mph twice. Only tried twice...

Does Kuryakyn still make those covers for the brake pedal and the shift peg? They don't list the Vmax anymore??? Yankee

I'm sure the answer is somewhere in these forums and I haven't read enough but... I could use some help. Recently purchased a 07 Vmax, I've wanted one since I was a kid. I've always owned Honda's and this is my first Yamaha. It's a real nice bike but I have to ask... why does this thing...

Not sure that I have ever seen mention of the Speedhut SST Revolution shift light on here, so I thought I would mention it as another alternative for the Vmax. It hooks up just like the Raptor, three wires to the back of the factory tach. It has a 3 LED readout that is used for programming...

What is a good rpm setting for a shift light to get the best result?

There is a stickied thread about this upgrade HERE, but I thought a step-by-step with pics might be helpful. I gather that pre-99 model vmax's have a shitty segment that is prone to fail. More than one guy has called this upgrade one of the best things you can do for an older Max. I took it...

Custom Shift Light I have finished my custom shift light, along with help from Tom at Cycle One Off. First off Tom made me a custom oil pressure gauge bracket, and I then decided to add on the shift light idea. He then made me a bracket that I came up with. He sent it to me and my idea didnt...

I know there are some people here knowledgeable in electronics. Has anyone ever built a shift light, or have an idea on how to do it? There just can't be that much to it.

I had put about 300 miles on my 97 Max today, when disaster struck. Cruising along in 5th at about 40mph or so behind a slow-moving car, I kicked it down to 4th, and passed shortly after. Didn't even open it up, just casually rolled around the slow car. I went to put it back into 5th, I didn't...

Hello everyone, I cant get my shift like to go off when it is supposed to for nothing. I had it hooked up to the tach and then went to the coil and it wont go off when programmed, if I programmed it right. Please help where did you hook it up and how to program it. I do have power, as when i...

Hi all, some may have read my post of me racing the other day and looked down and was almost at 11rpm. Didn't know the max had no limiter. Anyway I wanna get a shift light so I do not blow it up. Any recommendations? Price and ease of assembly are my biggest factors here!!! Thanks!
