Failure of the middle gear shaft on a 2006 yamaha vstar classic. In my research I have found several others have had the exact same failure.
My 2006 yamaha star roadliner s started making a noticeable clattering noise in 3rd gear shortly before I had 18,000 miles on the odometer. It sounds just like my 2001 yamaha road star did before a dealer discovered that there were teeth missing from one of the gears in it's transmission. I took the bike to ride now surprise (a yamaha dealer) and they told me that the noise is normal. Keep in mind that the bike did not make the noise for the first 17,000 miles. I called yamaha customer relations and they said they could not do anything and that I should get a second opinion. I an going to pick the bike up from ride now tomorrow (2/22/08) and bring it to another dealer asap. I'm filing this report as evidence in the event of a possible (catastrophic) transmission failure en route.
