Yamaha gears/clutch problem !!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am having problems with a Yamaha Maxim 700 (US model)

I can go through the gears but theres no drive to the back wheel.

Its a shaft drive and all couplings are ok

Its recently had a new clutch and I've looked at it.

The clutch all seems ok (cable releases properly) Nothing broken.

Is gearbox failure known to happen on these bikes?

the only thing I can think of is maybe the output shaft from the 'box has snapped??

Any thoughts gratefully recieved!

put the bike on centrestand,


put it in gear and rotate the wheel by hand, it shouldn't go a full revolution as the gears should lock it..


try it out of gear for comparison.


if it turns fully when in gear, remove the front drive cover to inspect whilst the wheel s being turned...
