I have heard of a few YZF's sticking in one gear....anyone else heard this?

 

Have heard, but not experienced.

Yes mine does. It's not as bad as it use to be. When it does stick, it's when I'm holding the clutch in and gearing down from 5th. It sticks in 4th and sometimes 3rd. Someone told me that some model have a burr on the shift fork and there is a service bulletin out on them. Just call your local dealer and have them check you YFZ ID#. I haven’t bothered to call yet, haven’t had time.

 

No tranny problems as of yet but I have noticed that when I first got the machine the shifting was verry smooth but now with around 25 hours on it the shifting seems to be getting a little more notchey. But still way better than my banshee

 

Have you ever tried ATF fluid in the shee....specifically DEXRON 3 is needed. Shifts like budda!

 

Hmm ATF fluid Nope never tried that I Use maxima 75w trans oil. Wonder what the auto Tranny fluid Does that makes it shift so much better Thinner oil Perhaps? Thanks for the tip though.

 

I have heard of this problem, the shifters sticks down in 3rd or 4th. Like someone else said, it was a burr on the shiftdrum. And that it was a problem on the YZ450F aswell.

Doesnt sound anything like the 2001 cRaptor problems though. thank god.
