Hello, my brother has just purchased a used big bear 350, having some shifting issues.

reverse is hard to get into, and in order to use reverse he has to hold the shifter in position.

also, the difference between low and high gears is minimal, we think it may still be in low when shifting into high gear.

is the bike just geared that low?

any input is appreciated

Default Yamaha Big Bear 350 Tranny Problems

My Yamaha big bear is experiencing some of the same problems. It keeps kicking itself out of gear. Can someone please tell me what to take off to get to the screw that might be loose in the shifter linkage? I would very much appreciate it.

When you take it apart the piece I'm talking about meshes with the shaft that comes from the shifter shaft. You will only need one gasket for the side and you can do it in the quad. Let me know what you find

what side is the right side?

It's the same as a car. As your siting on or in it not standing in front of it
