Hi Guys,
I have a 2003'ish VT400C Ace.
The gearbox is a bit noisy, (kind of whining in 1st, 3rd and 5th. 1st is by way the worse...), so I'm guessing it could be the 1st, 3rd & 5th cogs?
When moving and the clutch is disengaged the noise largely disappears so I think that eliminates the connecting drive from crank to primary shaft... right?
I have seen complete transmission assemblies on eBay from the States but they are all from VT750's as I don't think you got the VT400 out there?
Now I understand these two bikes are pretty similar, except for the piston/cylinder specs but do any of you know whether VT750 made-up gear shafts would fit my VT400?
If so, it seems like quite a handy way to get a gearbox overhaul done for not too much money!
Thanks & Regards
