also you will find that the engagement side of the gear the teeth are bevelled a bit the help with engagement, but well done mate I think that mod is sound, I will keep it in mind when I re assemble the drowned rat that I'm restoring.

"Now warning lights" BUT the AWD light was on?

Hey! I'm having the exact same issue 2012 i20 PB (facelift) - I thought it was because I had wider tyres on mine - but it seems to happen on stock ones too. Just reading your update - did the brand-new OEM electronic steering box fix the issue?

Excellent instructions ! I'm halfway through this procedure, hoping it works (have used 13mm plastic irrigation fitting instead of brass). Wasted quite a bit of coolant so far...bought the Hand Pump from Autobarn $30. Bulk screw Clamps from $2 shop. 6mm CLEAR aqua hose $6 Bunnings for bleed nipple.

Somewhere around 1995, Yamaha revised the technical drawings of all the Viragos from those years on - the spring is no longer shown in the drawings. If you look anywhere for parts (idler gear #1 and #2) are no longer sold and have been replaced by a new set that can only be purchased together (part number is 3LP-W1551-00-00). Like the drawings (from 1995 on) and the later model 750/1100's, the spring has been removed entirely. The Gen 2 bikes (84+) have a proper mechanical solenoid with shallow cut idler gears but with the return spring. The spring causes "bounce back" sometimes popping the gears out of engagement with the flywheel. Just a heads up about hardening - the flywheel gear is hardened but the outer ring of the idler gear #2 is not hardened. This is done intentionally so that any wear will be on idler gear #2 and not the flywheel. The idler gear is easy and inexpensive to replace - the flywheel is not.

love your work\ vibe man, well done. whats your take on poly bushing kits for entire car suspension and who'd u recommend?

I like what you're saying about the spring spacing and getting maximum travel on the gear, but do NOT tell people to flip the gear over. Yes, physically it "fits", but the back side of the gear teeth are not hardened, no machined, just not meant to engage with the flywheel. This wears down the flywheel and very quickly causes a much more expensive and difficult problem to fix.

Nice job... thanks...👏👏👏

My rear diff went and this was the Issues anyway, had the rear diff flushed and found a lot of grey. Smelt burning plastic driving up mountains until it gave out

The gear you have is the new model that's corrects the problem the first gen bikes had, and does not need the spring at all. The twist on the old gear was to fast.

Thanks mate

Hi Zoltan, my mechanic was saying that this cleaning of the terminals may be simply resetting the 4WD coupling and not fixing the root issue which is the coupling motor failing. So it may trick the coupling to start working again for a while but then the issue will likely come back again. So I was wondering if this fix ended up being permanent for you or if you have seen it come back again?

My comment reply back to you on Aussie Cossack was removed because I tried to edit the pin message. Anyways this is the message... *To hear what they are saying. With the speakers in stereo, type in the search "audio balance settings" toggle the speaker balance to zero with either the left side or right side speaker.* This eliminates the echo.
