i'm talking about the thundercat. From what i've been reading, all YZF type bikes from early 90's to 2002 are prone to this issue. Like i said a lot of conflicting information, not sure what to believe. Trying to figure out if this issue is worth not getting the thundercat tomorrow.

Yeah, i see a lot of people saying there was a change to the gear dogs in o3 and up, since its a 04, i think i might end up getting it. I jsut gotta test the crap out of first, shifting to second i guess...Hopefully Seller lets me take it on a short test run

Hey every one. I've been doing a little bit of research, and find so much conflicting information, regarding the infamous Yamaha second gear slip issue. Just wondering if any one has had this happen to them. Did Yamaha ever fix the issue? Are all 600's affected by this curse. Was it only for a...

Oh also, this notorious 2nd gear problem. This bike has about 30k km on it. Whats the best way to test for this 2nd gear slip issue? Running it up to red in 2nd?

Can you do safeties kneedragger? I Better watch out, safeties can be a touchy subject on this form. lol ( i don't remember if your a certified mechanic. no offense) Lol thanks for all the technical help with my RZ 4 years ago :p

Yeah i saw that in the act.... well i plan on going to crappy tire to get the SSC, so hopefully it won't be an issue. Thanks every one!

If any one else runs into this problem, i don't believe it's an issue. There is only one mention of the four way flashers in the ontario highway traffic act. 62(14). Subject to subsections (14.1) and (15), no person shall use a lamp, other than the vehicular hazard warning signal lamps...

Thanks. My only worry is under the highway traffic act it says (e) the turn signal lamps and the flasher unit shall operate properly; Not sure if the flasher unit is the indicator lights, or the hazards.... Having hazards on a bike seems a little redundant... like is aid, not really sure what...

I'm going to go look at a 2004 YZF thundercat tomorrow. I was just talking to the seller on the phone, and was advised that the "hazard" lights don't work (both signals flashing). I am wondering if this will cause the bike to fail the safety inspection, and if so, is it a hard/expensive fix...

Hey jon, welcom! Good on you for picking up a 250 for your first bike. Baby steps. If you ever want any one to ride with let me know. I'm always looking to ride with any one, lol. Could get some practice in riding in groups.

Welcome! Don't mind the silly posts :p

what is it?

I say its always warm enough to ride! Aslong as the roads are not ice covered and snow covered, ride on! I bought sheep skin gloves (i think its sheep skin) for winter rides(i have the winter ones that are more like gauntlets, and a summer pair), and wore long johns (upper and lower) my leather...

Well that was my first year, on an M1, with jevco(when it was still jevco) and i was 20 at the time. The only reason i went with jeco is becuase they were the only company willing to insure me as a first time rider. No other company would even look at me. Granted the next year it dropped to...

I understand it's a huge cost to pay for medical, and what not if some really bites it hard. I've never had full coverage, and my first bike an RZ350, cost me 3300 the frist year. IT WAS A 350! granted a two stroke, but i guess that was the M1 on talking, and first time insured on any vehicle...

ahaha thats epic. Guess the seller had a bad time

Thanks guys. Also i'm an idiot, i spent almost an hour trying to search for SS insurance throught he forms and found nothing. Went home downloaded tap talk and found a thread within 5 minutes. I have the VIN for one of the bikes I am going to check out, now I just have to wait until 8 to call...

Just called corner stone. She said take the primmum. Waiting to get the VIN's from the 2 bikes i'm going to check out. Dam now I feel like this primmum quote(online) is to good to be true.

Ok so I found an R6 that I want. A little older, but money makes the world go round, and i don't have a lot of it. Obviously I have not yet bought the bike, I've been attempting to get insurance quotes. The only place that’s willing to even look at me is primmum (through T.D) That being said...

LOL i expect to get ****** over! Thats about it.
