2nd gear tech bulletin

[PEIslander]

This is Tech Bulletin M85-014 which refers to the parts wear resulting in second gear failing.

NOTE:
The 2nd gear problem was fixed in 1985 after serial number 0001413

will this be a factory recall or a repair we will pay for as needed.

AS far as I know there never was a recall for this but some were repaired under warranty. The second gear failure usually happened around 50K miles. The tech bulletin just tells the dealers to use the improved parts when doing the repair. Someone had requested this in another post but I thought it should be in the tech library as well.
I will be doing the 2nd gear repair this winter and I also developed a noise in the middle gear area on Friday and don't know what I'm in for there. My bike has 84,000 km on it which is close to 50k miles.

Art,
I belive this is only on the 1st. Gen that have the 2nd gear problem.

I tried to order these two parts with a local Yamaha dealer and he said he can't find the "new" part numbers handwritten on the tech bulletin PDF. Has anyone successfully ordered the upgraded washers and if so, what are the part numbers?

Thanks

From a second gear fix pdf

5A8-17529-00 Washer Thrust (2 required)
90201-252K4 Washer Plate (170-16154-02)

These numbers are on page #8 from the 1st list, of the parts listings

I am enclosing the pdf I printed, as it seems easier to read (to me) than the current page.

Also check the parts listing for a 85 or 86 venture as these will have the updated parts needed.

OK thanks- so is the (170-16154-02) just part of the description and the 90201-252k4 the actual PN?

Thanks again

Yes, the 1300 cc engines, do not need the second gear fix.

Just thought of something, could there be a difference in the CDN & USA part #, as that write up was done in BC Canada.

90201-252k4 was the part # at time of writing, the (170-16154-02) is an OLD part#. Part # sometimes change, for different reasons, improved part for an example.
