SOURCE: 2nd gear does not work on my Yamaha Virago xv250

Sounds like a slightly bent shift fork. The slider gear isn't quite engaging into 2nd. If the bend gets worse then you won't get into first and the pedal will get real stiff in those gears. The repair is best done in the shop.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

remove the rear wheel & remove the rear sprocket and sprocket hub from rear wheel. (should just pull out) inspect the cush drive rubbers, chanches are they are destroyed & dissinagrated....replace them. check your wheel bearings in hub & sprocket plate.check axle. sprocket teeth & chain...reassemble and go riding..

SOURCE: i have a 2000 yamaha

The bike has a bent shift fork or two. This is a major repair on the bike. The engine comes out of the frame, gets flipped upside down then the bottom casing comes off. This allows access to the gears and shift drum / shift forks. I do not recommend this repair for a novice mechanic. Call a Yamaha dealer to confirm my diagnosis and to get an idea of the repair cost. The cost will probably be $1000 to $1500. Bummer. Please rate my answer.

2007 mustang gt have engine knock problem when going from 1st to 2nd gear at 5000 rpms?

5.000rpm's high revs and you run into problems with valve bounce ( hitting pistons) ,ring slap, gudgeon pin knock, big end noise and possible main bearing noise . You may also be getting a hydraulic lock in the hydraulic followers that is holding the valves open too long. Unless the engine has been specifically built for these rpm's any loose ,worn on unsuitable part will cause problems I am thinking that you have around 100.000 miles on the clock after 7 years and the motor is not young Ford V8 engines specifically built for a 500 klm race are limited to 5.500 rpms because they destroy the timing chain if driven over that speed .

Continued knocking while driving. Seems to knock faster as I accelerate, but does not knock at idle in neutral, starts to knock when reviving at 2200 rpms

Well lift the car up and put it on drive wile you can hear what the knock is. See if is your engine or the transmission. And if ok check your spark plugs make sure you getting fire to them

2006 R6 Shifting Problem

Howdy: The 3rd and 4th gears are used the most, after awhile the dog and shifting forks get worn more. Try changing to Yamaha Lube simi-syn oil 10/40. Drain oil after warm up (get trans oil warm). The oil is in a silver 4gal containe at the Yamaha dealer. This oil has helped me.
Good luck - Doug
