[2nd Gear Kit]

Thanks I'll order the individual parts.

[2nd Gear Kit]

As a winter project plan to fix the 2nd gear issue on my 84. I've read the how-to articles which are very informative. I read somewhere that Yamaha sells a 2nd gear kit for this repair but can't find the part number. Anyone have it?

[Rear Wheel Spacers]

Its a 2008, I can't type worth a crap. Its the spacer on the left of the brake bracket that has me confused. Does this look good now?

[Rear Wheel Spacers]

Just changed the rear tire and confused about the assembly of the spacers on the rear wheel. I read the posts on the tech pages about the spacers but I have a thick spacer not shown in those photos. I've highlighted it below. Where does it go? (I have the nut and washer for the other side)

[Installing Barons Lowering Kit]

Had to remove the muffler but all went well, thanks for the info.

[Installing Barons Lowering Kit]

After reading all the pros/cons about lowering the RSV I bought a Barons rear lowering kit. The instructions aren't the greatest (no pics) so I have a couple of questions on the install.

 

- relocating the brake caliper: is it necessary to remove the mufflers to take out the rear axle?

 

- removing the connecting arms: with the rear wheel off the ground (unweighted), when I remove the bolts for the connecting arms what prevents the wheel from dropping further down or do I have to support the wheel??

[Second Gear Fix - Part Numbers]

Doing the 2nd gear fix on my 83. I've read numerous posts here on different parts to order. Is there a " kit " from Yamaha that contains the minimum parts to order?
