gear

Messing around with my 2016 RC this morning I found out I need to replace my clutch cable. It was about to break at the lever. Now, I did remove the cable and thought I would try moving the clutch lever on the engine and put it in gear to see what would happen and it kills it every time I put it...

I’m not sure if this has been discussed or not but can someone tell me why I cannot restart my 2016 RC390 if it stalls while in gear? Pullin the clutch in any gear and it will not start? I end up pulling over to asafe location and putting the bike in neutral before I can restart. Not surewhy...

Hi all. I recently picked up a 2015 RC390 and took her to the track this last weekend. It is GP shift. When I shift it the lever stays where I last put it. So when I shift from third to fourth, or any gear for that matter, I have to nudge the lever up or down to get it into position for what...

My RC 390 rear wheel moves while on stand and in gear with clutch pulled in. The bike is also very heavy to move when it’s off, in gear even with clutch pulled in. My mechanic said that turning wheel with clutch pulled in is normal. I wanted to check if it’s normal and if not what could be the...

To add to the mix, I'm now also producing a Chromoly 4140 Hardened Rockwell 36C front sprocket for the stock 520 chain. These sprockets are hard clear through, not case hardened as most front sprockets are. This means it'll last a LOT longer. Going up to a 16T front is basically about the same...

Hi, I did a track day yesterday on my stock rc 390 2015 and during the third session I started having an issue only in 4th gear accelerating hard above 6.5k rpm, where it feels like the gears are jumping or slipping or something. If I accelerate gently I can go right to the limiter in 4th no...

415 Front Sprockets are rolling off the machining center constantly now. Stock for the rear sprockets should be here later this week and will have an array of offerings for rear sprocket sizes. Sprocket fitment is perfect! These front sprockets are made from hardened Chromoly 4140, and have cold...

Hi all, Anyone one make slopped cam gear to degree the cam?

First gen vfr gear lever

Hi everyone, this is my first post and unfortunately it is a tech issue :P My RC (2017) was bought new and it works pretty well. Today I wanted to rotate the clutch lever downwards a little to fit my hand pose better. So I loosen the level’s screw, rotate the lever a little, and tighten the...

Hi all, wondering if anyone has experienced this problem; Sometimes, not often, my bike doesn't display which gear it is in, it just has like two dashes (middle of the number 8 in digital display). I try to change gears and the dashes flash on and off a bit. I can still change gears but...

Hi, I'm having difficulty in engaging gear during WOT . I'm not able to upshift when my rpm is above 9k. Anyone experienced this issue before? I thought it might be the engine oil (Motorex about 2k km) and i just changed it to Motul 300V 15W50 but the problem is still there. Thanks.

Quick question: I just switched the springs in the front. What sag numbers am I looking for? Right now it seems a little stiff with about 33mm of sag (no gear) 13mm static sag with about 13mm of preload. Any tips? I think I am going to take out 10mm of prelaod and see how it feels. Edit: I...

Hello friends! I have the Athena ECU and I have a problem with the side stand sensor... I did all the steps in the manual but! when I put the first gear the bike turn off, (you need to know that the bike is for race) I reviewed many times what is the reason that this problem occurs... I...

ANyone with a quickshifter, what are you using for your kill time? Currently I'm running a single time, but plan to add a gear/speed input so I can set times per gear. Just wondering what kind of times you guys have found to work well.

So earlier today...I was in first gear with the clutch pulled in revs @ 8k RPMs getting ready to launch and all of a sudden my bike stood up in a 12 o'clock wheelie as if I dumped the clutch even though I did not release the clutch it was pulled all the way back to the bar and adjusted...

Occasionally, when under hard acceleration, either because I am working the controls too quickly or something is wrong mechanically, the bike will go "in between" gears 5 and 6, showing a blank spot on the LCD where the gear indicator number is - when I release the clutch, the engine revs like...

Hey guys This is my first post here, i've been following this forum for over a year. My RC is a 2015 model, has done around 17000 kms so far. I had installed a powertronic piggyback ecu around 6 months earlier, the bike ran fine for some 5000 kms or so after which some problems started cropping...

Hey guys, Took the race bike to the track this past weekend. I was downshifting from 4th to 3rd quite hard braking into turns. Strangely, the bike was popping from 3rd gear back to 4th while I was letting out the clutch. This happened in the middle of my brake zone as I was approaching the...

Just saw that Top Gear BBK was back on ? Had no idea Top Gear BBK it had been resurrected ?! And with Matt LeBlanc as cohost .... so, going to check it out & see if it can even compare to the trio of Jeremy, Richard & James. Did anyone else catch Top Gear Season 23 ? Thoughts ? Matt...
