ChurchBuilder Posted May 21, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2016 Sounds like one of your shift cam pins came out. Not a hard repair but you'll need to pull the clutch basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamagrl Posted May 21, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2016 I suspect that the shift segment pin for fourth gear has fallen out. In the pic below you can see that some of the keepers over the pins has become distorted. Once they get bent enough the pin just falls out. These are part of what rotates when you move the the shift lever. I suspect that the one for fourth has come out. It has to go into fourth before it can go into fifth. The part is here. Item 7 is what I suspect has fallen out. Item 8 is what I suspect is why. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1983/XVZ12TDK/SHIFT+CAM+-+FORM/parts.html The shift segment in the 2nd gens were a better design and it is common to upgrade to these in the 1st gens. Here it is in the 2nd gen. But I would recommend to just fix the existing, install a new pin. The old pin may still be in that area around the clutch but maybe not. Mine found its way into the oil pan.
