fstaRocka Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi all. Just read thru this article and it sounds allot like my problem http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/72644-4th-gen-clutch-issues/page-6 When i goto 3rd it starts slipping in and out of gear making a grinding noise.. 1,2,5,6 are OK.. With 1 and 2 perfect.. When the bike idles and i lean it left and. Right the noise changes to a light rattle inside. I have a spare motor, will be first time crackinga trans issue in many yrs. Any ideas? One mech said sometimes the trans wears into the cover and i should shim it or something. Do i have to drop motor to split case?

fstaRocka Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I pulled engine and split crank case, found 3rd gear fork eaten away on one side- replaced fork and one set of gears and all is perfect! FYI the clutch slipping feeling were my carbs, 3 of my 4 pilot jets were blocked causing a surging feeling. Cleaned and the bike is running strong now.
