Thanks man, you explained it calmly and perfectly, just what I needed. Haynes was all over the place.10 pages of text. After watching your video it was literally a matter of minutes. gears/dogbones/selector drum. Wish I could shake your hand! Thanks
Awesome job bro & thanks A LOT!!👍👍🙏! You showed me pretty much all i needed to know. Haynes manual is on the way with the entire replacement tranny for my "new" 03 R1! I've did 5.0 engines & pretty much anything you can think of but kinda new to motorcycle engine internals. Guess ill be a r1 wiz before too long. Thanks!
Hey man, I just bought a 2003 R6 that is slipping in second gear and thanks to your video I now know what I should be looking for when I crack the case open.
Nice to hear you mention the "beauty" of the mechanics in the close tolerance transmissions, they really are a work of 'art'...some are better than others but compared to my Royal Enfield 4 speed gearbox, they really have come a LONG way.
Bro your a fantastic teacher 🤙.. I have an 05 r1 that grinds only when I start the bike, after it's started it runs flawlessly..I'm assuming it's my generator driven gear?.. the flywheel is old and has visible wear but all the gear teeth match up nicely but I keep burning up the starter clutch inside the drive gear . Any advise on the issue?? Please help I'm about to loose my mind!! I'm more than ready to get back on 2 wheels
I'm sure you fixed the problem by now but I would have open the clutch cover, pulled the clutch and check the gear engagement to solve that issue. Replaced all parts that look wore out or not in alignment. It didn't sound like a teanny issue if it happens on start up
nice video mate. i can feel rough transmission on my kawa z800 at 4500rpm followed by vibration at handle bar. noticeable at 4-5-6 gear and fifth gear slips a lot. could it be transmission bearings?
I just bought a 03 r6 with 15k and there is a bit of driveline lash or transmission slop. I’ll try to explain the best I can. When riding the bike at lower speeds the I can feel the slack in transmission when I’m on and off the throttle, it happens in all gears but not very noticeable at higher speeds as it’s easier to be smoother on the throttle, I’m just curious what this could be from and if the bike can still last while with this problem. Because other than it worrying me alittle it doesn’t really bother me. Everything else with the bike is great runs very strong lots of power. Thank you sir appreciate it.
hopefully you're still active on this but i was riding my 06 r1 the other day and in 4th gear i went to accelerate a little harder and then it sounded like i was just revving my bike, i went down to third gear and so on and nothing caught, it was as if the chain broke off but the bike remained on like it was just in neutral. what do you think happened? Happy thanksgiving btw
just checked on my new 520, RK maxx superlightweight EVO spec, its IN route, looks like tues afternoon, i prefer 47 rear and `17 front, going 16 front and stock rear is just a tadd to low for me, 2 in rear is almost perfect, from my exp, going 1 down in front is almost 3 up in rear, i hope this solves the issue im having, very frustrating
I personally like stock gearing. Its better for cruising in lower gears and top end. There are many things you can do to make your bike accelerate better without changing the gearing.
thank u v very much, i really respect your videos and your patients with thsese motors i was very scared and worried i messed something up but i did order a new chain from motomummy the bike runs like a champ, i cant wait to install this new setup its a Drivin chain 520 set they say the new chains and the one they recomended are lighter and stronger then my OEM 530, i had ordered from AMAZON a JT chain 530 and sprockets, i have checked the wheel bearings they are top shape, the tension and alingment i will make sure its perfect, im OCD so, i cant ride without doinging it 3 or more times, check check lol, i did take it to local shop he tech rode bike hes conculusion was nothing in trans is messed up, he thinks its a POS chain, and recomeded me getting a good or better chain, DID, or DRIVIN , i told him what it was and he noted that those are not very good quality, cheap mass produced, well i NEVER stop learning, spelling not great sorry
Need advice ASAP....Do you have to remove the timing chain tensioner to split the casings to repair the transmission???? not trying to get into the top end of the motor
I used blue loctite cause the servicemanuel doesn't give specifications wich colour you should use. It just says ''Loctite''. Why should you you use red instead of blue? Should i be worried now? They say if you ever want to take it apart again blue is best to go.
Mine started making a knocking noise a weak ago. My mechanic thought it was the clutch so I bought a racing kit and it wasn't the problem although the original clutch was warn and had burn spots. The knock sound can be heard in natural also and doesn't stop. Is it the male part broken which goes into the gear groove?
Darin b if you are sure the knocking is coming from the clutch and you can feel that when you pull the clutch in its difficult, I would check to see if the clutch hub nut is still tightened in spec. Meaning, when you look at the clutch hub, which is what holds the clutch plates and keeps the clutch engaged with the crank. Look to see if the are aligned and in contact with one another. It should be aligned perfectly. If all is well, the only way to look further is to split the case. Good luck and take your time.
Hey man! I have this R1 04 which I bought last year and I'm having problem to get into first gear. It feels like it bounces back and then this kind of sound from the sprockets appears. I mean feels like it doesnt fit or doenst find space to get into first gear. Do you know what it possibly could be? Do you understand what I'm trying to say? It's kinda hard to explain but... hehe. Kind regards.
Yamabond (Grey), all new O rings for coolant lines, new oil pump O rings, Head gasket since you have the engine out, You can also get a new block gasket, valve cover gasket and grommets, that large black gasket on the main drive at end of trans shaft, time cover gasket, clutch gasket, new crank cover O ring, Assembly lube, fresh oil to lube parts, red and blue loctite, new shims for valve adjustment (various sizes)
@@carlosrosinha I believe that some of the newer bikes have a cassette gearbox which can be removed from behind the clutch basket. So, no all bikes don't require the engine case to be splint, but most due unfortunately.
Currently having this issue with my 09 R1. Thiught it was the clutch and all. Its been in the shop for 3 months now. And recently the guy told me it might he the disengagement gear. It all started when it slipped from 5th and 6th gear. I already spent 1000$$ getting the clutch fixed😭😭😭
Hello. I saw your video for change transmission of R1. I would like to know because when I turned upside down the engine the oil has come out from suction horns. (I drained off the engine oil/coolant for 2 days and tilting she too). It's normal? It's serious? Nothing happen to engine or when I turn it on? Thanks for response.
El Matteo estarías bien. motor es muy fuerte. Si lo arrancado sin problemas , todo está bien. Pero, escucha por ruidos deferentes. Si no hay ningun. Esta bien. Si tu tienes más preguntas, por favor preguntame.
Thanks, but because you write in spanish? I'm italian ahah. Write in english as well. Before remove the engine from the motorbike he didn't do any strange noise. So I can stay confortable? Nothing happen? Thanks again.
Thanks. During work I have more questions: 1) You must remove the oil / water pump or they can be remain attached to crankcase (just unhooking the chain)? 2) The oil pump chain has the references or it's just a chain for pump run? 3) The gear behind clutch basket has a point or signal to contact with the crankshaft gear? Sorry for my stupid questions, but it's my first time that I open an engine. Regards from Italy.
Yes, the oil/water pump must be removed from the engine. The chain has no reference point and must be removed after you remove the clutch basket. Then pull the chain out when you remove the water/oil pump. The clutch basket has to be fully engaged with the crankshaft when you reinstall it. Behind the basket there are notches that must go on the water pump chain ring perfectly. These are great questions. Feel free to ask more.
GREAT right up i have a 04 r1 i replaced the chain AND SPROCKETs now i get a almost whine sound i have no isues wirh gears or shifting SOMEONE told me it COULD be the bearing behind the countre shaft seal . If my shaft was bent lets say wouldn't i notice a worse noise THEN a whine?? I HAVE had bike on rear stand ran it using a Listening device and i cannot see any wobble on shaft i had local yamaha SHOP tech ride it he said it is loud but im a,worry wort ... THE bike chain tracks great its a JT 530 CHAIN I HAVE THE NEE REAR SPROCKET used BOTH front oem and aftermarket SPROCKET few guys told me to spend money on better CHAIN . THEY said jt chains arnt that good should i try a real good 520 DID SET UP? AND SEE? HELP ANY THING ILL LISTEN
Ragecage07 the shaft is not bent. That really isn't possible. The chain tension could be too tight. The rear wheel bearing could be bad. I would buy a new chain and make sure the tension is correct. It should just touch the bottom plastic chain guard when the axle nut has been tighten. Not likely that the bearing on the primary shaft is bad. The tolerances are very tight inside the engine. There shouldn't be a way for dirt and grim to damage it.
Gypsyman Racing good to hear you look like you know how to work on a bike . My 05 raven I picked up is pretty flawless 18k miles clean as all hell besides a crack in the front cowel below the mirror a new oem front fairing is 200$ is that a easy part to replace without to much hassle ?
My motor dropped a valve at 34K miles. It was my fault because I never had the valve clearances checked because the bike always ran strong with no issues.
Gypsyman Racing ,that shows in your video, I have been thinking of getting R6 or R1 with gearbox trouble seem to be really cheap and I love the R1 sound. Great video bye the way hope to see more

yungoldhead215 I really appreciate that compliment. Thank you very much.
Yes man best video out there . So much information. I also work on my own bike. Good advice on putting everything in plastic bag s
I thought it was the teeth on the gear that was broke but it's actually the male thing that connects them is worn down great video thanks for this

Gruß aus Deutschland...
Pretty nice Video. Thank you for that
Hey man love the video I have an 06 R1 and my question is where did you get the whitE book how can I print those pages what site was it from Yamaha ?
A friend found it for me but I'm sure he just googled it
I believe the dogs are part of the actual gears. They interlock when the gears are moved. So essentially the forks engage the dogs
Alex Pearson interesting...
He is correct what you called the male end of the gear is called the dog and the shift fork is what slides which engages the dogs on the gears
Super video
Thank you
nice video mate. i can feel rough transmission on my kawa z800 at 4500rpm followed by vibration at handle bar. noticeable at 4-5-6 gear and fifth gear slips a lot. could it be transmission bearings?
Thanks for video.Owner of so many Kawa bikes I am stunned that Yamaha made R1 gearboxes so weak.Why?

Sorry for the late response and by now I know you replaced the gears by now
How did you crack the case ? I have a 04 r1 that has a spun bearing
Sure you figured it out by now put I had to make the socket or you can buy it for the right side of the bike
hey! when joining the two half's of the bike , how thick should the yamabond liquid gasket be applied ???
Victor Lugo just put a thin line no bigger than the case. Be careful not to fill any of the holes on the surface.

no, you can see a manual CCT in the video and cam chain still in place.

Not advise, yamaha has crazy tight tolerances

Niklas Lindblom wanted to know if you opened up the engine, because it sounds like you needed a new transmission.
What all gaskets did you need for the task?

@@Gypsyman40 so, this means that for a gearbox repair all engine need to be opened? Not possible from bottom?

What if any COULD be GOING on i had no issues before i replaced chain
how can you not know your gears are slipping my bike is doing that you can tell the difference between clutch slippage and gear slippage
Is it similar to a 99
Similar but different and better
Buy under cut gears . It will solve any gear pop out problems
