larrydr Posted July 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2021 My 83 XVZ1200 has transmission noise in neutral .. I backed the bike out the shop door and the drop of concrete brought the bike down 2 inches and the transmission noise is gone ...I rode the bike back into the shop and the noise is back when the bike is on the level floor ...I added 1/2 to 3/4 quart of oil to the crankcase which is a overfill and the noise is gone ..When is the overfill to much oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its better to be between the high and low lines than to be over the high mark or under the low mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a problem of of not enough lubrication that makes that washer/shim with that much wear at second gear a common issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
