#630335 BC1955 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 409 Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Today I replaced the oil pump gear in my '01. Easier job than I expected. For what it's worth, mine was manufactured in Sept. of '01 and it had the old style gear. Some were wondering about the timing for the change-over by Yamaha so it was sometime after Sept. This is one thing I won't have to worry about anymore.   Logged     American by birth...

How involved is it to change it out and how much is it to do? Is this another recommended mod for the roadie?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #630359 BC1955 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 409 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   I did it as a precaution. The early model R* ('99, '00 and '01) have a "weak" oil pump gear that could break. Some have broken. It was re-designed to beef it up. The part is not too expensive and the job is really easy, even for me. There is a "tech" article that gives step-by-step instruction. I don't know your model year but there is a recall for some tranny work and most people get this gear changed at the time of the recall. Labor is free but you will have to pay for the part, anywhere from $50-$70 dollars.   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/05/10 19:26 By BC1955.   American by birth...

Thanks for sharing about the ease of upgrade!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #630439 samw (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 478 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   I changed mine last week when I installed the Barnett spring. Mine is an 02 and it had the old style gear also. If you got an 02 or an early 03 it might pay to check it out.   Logged     ' width='150' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #630549 Meitemark (User) Don't ever become a pessimist Senior Boarder Posts: 328 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Mine is june 01.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1133 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   If you have an older bike....change it. Mine failed. Burnt my motor. Not fun. Only upside is because the rest of the bike was mint,I used it as an excuse to do a complete rebuild and put in the PR 108 kit. Nice to be doing 120 kmh in 5th and be able to twist the throttle to pass.   Logged     Welease Bwian!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #630570 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Buddy of mine with an '02 broke his. Cost $2,200 to repair. Pump drive gear was $71. Do it!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #630579 DAVECS1 (Visitor) Gold Boarder Posts: 662 Re:Changed my oil pump gear... 4 Years, 9 Months ago   gkirk2000 wrote: If you have an older bike....change it.

Nice to be doing 120 kmh in 5th and be able to twist the throttle to pass. This is my strategy. I am going to let it ride and when and if it all goes that's my cue to break out the tools. I have 42k on it though and it runs like a Singer. I have more than got my money out of this engine. I am in the bonus round as far as I am concerned.   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/05/11 07:22 By .     The administrator has disabled public write access.
