New member joining. Love the sight, lots of good info.

Have 2nd gear going out in my 84 VR. Was wondering if i put an 86 or newer trans in it if it would work without any mods? Also would i need to change out shift drum and forks?

Love the bike, would like to fix it.

Any members out there that has a trans that they would like to sell me would be great?

E-mail me at arwest_11@hotmail.com

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.:fingers-crossed-emo

Yes, an 86/93 is a direct fit. You may need to do some tweaking on getting the best lash on the out drive. Some will say that you need the out drive from what ever transmission you are using, but I put an 86 trans in my 83 and originally used the 86 out drive, but I had a seal leak and went back to the 83 out drive and it ended up being a little quieter than the original 83 set up. As far as the forks, technically they are the same on either trans, but I have no doubt that if you have already lost 2nd gear that the forks are bent. They can be straightened, but you would have to have a pretty good idea of what you are doing.
