Japanese Bikes / Re: My son's Yamaha Fazer noisey transmission

Hello Ben, I've given options and opinions on your sons fazer,These engines are not built like the ones we rode and repaired in the 1960s,there a lot more complicated,and as such need to be repaired by specialist people,There have been quite a few modifications made to the fazer gearbox since it's introdution because it was weak,...I can give you a blow by blow account of how to strip the engine,but i can't see,or feel whats wrong with the gearbox,

Reards Jeff.

There are certain gears,gear bushings and bearings on both mainshaft, and driveshaft that are a press fit,

The bottom crankcase can be removed without disturbing the top end,allthough there is a fair bit to come off the sides off the engine to enable you to split the crankcases,

This is a vintage/classic web site,so if anyone wants info on bikes like the Fazer then there are sites like the fazer owners club.

I don't come on this site to discuss modern bikes.

I repair motorcycles for a living,and can tell you that to disassemble and reassemble a fazer gearbox requires the use of a hydraulic press.

This is an engine out,and major strip down job,It's only a worn bearing,gear or shaft,I would recommend this work to be done by a skilled mechanic,as there are so many things to check and replace,and the special tools required,My old FJ 1100 gearbox whines like hell,but i can't be bothered to fix it,It's not going to blow up,It will go on for ages,but in your case do you spend all that money getting it fixed,or p/x it at a lower value for another bike.

Trust me i'm a mechanic.

The fact that it will rev ok when going through the gears does not indicate an ignition problem,but a sustained high throttle opening does indicate that the fuel flow can't keep up with what the engine requires,maybe the float level is slowly falling at sustained high revs until it can no longer keep up with the engines need,resulting in a misfire,you're going to have to go right through the petrol feed,and carb to eliminate fuel as you're problem.

It certainly is an ex police bike hence the P,and it is a Saint,I can't help you at the moment about the 71 model,but this is a picture of a 69 TR6p.
