Prairie Man Posted July 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2009 I just bought an 84 Venture, with 50,000 miles 80,000 km 2nd gear works fine. Is there a way to tell if it's been replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted July 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2009 From what I understand there should be a set of punch marks near the serial numbers on the engine case. My '84 just hit 50,000 today and is still running strong. I gather most folks haven't had any problem with 2nd gear until around 65K miles, depending on riding style.

Venturous Randy Posted July 27, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 27, 2009 I think my 2nd gear problem started in the 40's, but I tend to do a bit of WOT thru the gears a lot. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted July 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 27, 2009 Snaggletooth is on, there should be center punch marks on the case by the shifter if it was done by Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
