Smitty Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 http://www.yamaha-motor.com.au/motor/index...44&modelcatid=3 Transmission : 6-Speed Manual Clutch w/ Reverse What the? Ive heard about it on gold wings but a trail bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 21, 2005 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2005 That seems rather pointless on an 250! 660 Raptor Quads also have a reverse......but on that type of ride, it could be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 where do they wack it anyway, 1 gear (taps) below 1st? would be funny to see someone take off at a set of lights and they left it in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 22, 2005 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2005 Not sure about the XT.......but the Raptor's have a "lock-out" set-up, so there's no mistakin' reverse for ANY forward gears. That takeoff scenario reminds me of a time once when I started my RD & it was actually running Backwards! ......dropped it into gear & kept rolling backwards.........kinda like having 6 reverse's! .......had to kill the motor & restart it to correct the prob........just another little idiosynchrosey of a Stroker. Alan (LC) knows what I'm on about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 I emailed a yamaha store about it, and this is there reply: This is obviously a mis-print on our website.The site has just been upgraded to the 2005 models.I will have to talk to our I.T. guys. But ive found it on 2 websites so far. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 My cuz was after one, i'm straight road for now (in other words untill i can afford 2 bikes). Seems like all yamaha's (local stores) used the same website to produce there pages, so all local ones around here were wrong lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
