Motorcycle transmission: DEMONSTRATION + EXPLANATION

Correct Terminology:
output shaft - "counter shaft"
opposite shaft - "main shaft"
sprockets - "gears"
interlocking side teeth - "dogs"
shifting arms - "shift forks"
shifting/sliding type sprocket - "slider"
The engine is from a 1981 Yamaha SR250

@Firebolt I think he means the engine configuration we just saw. Whoever got it to that point is a genius

This has got to be the best and most basic (yet complete) video explaining ANY type of gearbox. Thanks for posting, you've cleared up so much for me!

[@bloodyhell451]

This is brilliant. Just stumbled on it to explain how it works to a buddy. Thanks for taking the time.

I got math homework due in the morning and I'm watching how a transmission works

[@cameronlong7790]

This is one of the coolest (and most detailed) the i have seen in awhile. It helps because I am rebuilding my YZ125 and I need to know EXACTLY how it works!

[@thecorbies2521]

Thanks for the most amazingly calm, clear and precise description and demonstration of a motorcycle selector mechanism and gear train. After occasionally wondering for over 40yrs about the selector mech in particular, it all makes total sense now. Thanks again. Regards Mark in the UK

It hurts to think about the moments when i misused those gears in traffic. Great video. This video link should be in books.

[@michaelc2644]

Your videos are great. There is great detail and you explain the topic in an understandable and logical manner. Please continue to make more videos. I would love to see a carb video, a fuel injector video, a front forks video, a front steering assembly video and so on. You are well appreciated.

[@ronfreemyer9107]

This demo is so perfect. I had no idea how my trans worked, and was having a problem with it's down shifting from third to second and to first. This was due to my running low on oil and some metal particles started circulating around and causing the problem. It is now shifting fine since I did two oil and filter changes. This took about 600 miles of driving, and so far it's working fine. I would still like some input regarding how the metal pasrticles effected the shifting. Thanks for the excerllent demo. Ron

[@piggysister01]

What a great video! You couldn't have explained this more clearly. Was kinda hoping you might touch on what happens when you preload the shifter, but this was a fab explanation of the mechanism.

[@zigmar7]

Thanks, it helps a lot to understand when you see actuals parts in action.

[@raja_dheeraj_aa]

After watching many many videos.... OMG, I am just tired & found out a complete stop here . Thank you so much for this wonderful video which cleared all my misunderstandings. Now, I got this completely. No one & no other demonstrations worked out for me till now.

[@wesleymarkmusic403]

That was a great demo. I liked being able to see all the parts. My mind still doesn’t quite comprehend how the parts work together to change gears but that is no fault of yours. 🤪

[@sanketmudgal6565]

I always used to wonder how the gears work in my motorbike. This video explains it completely. Awesome.

[@Pattech117]

Has to be one of the best explanations/demos on youtube... Thanks man

[@astronutski]

This has to be the best explanation of the bikes transmission, so happy I found it

[@rvkvikas]

Thank you very much for making this video!

A legend Vikas himself, the question is does he still liking comments?

[@rocker1210]

Outstanding video, thank you for posting it. I didn't understand how the gears worked until now.

[@RobertWave]

Nice video, informative. For me it's not so important to understand the different gear ratios and how they figure that but the concept of how it works is explained very well in this presentation. Nice job!

[@sail4life]

This really helped me appreciate the brilliance of this design. Thank you!

"The name 'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon which radial projections engage a chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never meshed together directly"

[@kevfinn8232]

Very informative vid...l now have a better understanding of how the gears work, which before was no understanding at all. Thank you.

Awesome videos buddy. Simple yet detailed explanations thank you. I'm needing help with my bike and this has helped alot (although it's not work that I will be able to do myself)

[@jasonmorris858]

The popping together of small levers is there's 2 ways #1 as well as your workshop manual and all motorcycle gearboxes say 1965-2005 are basically the same so you can tell, 4 springs means 8 lever contact points so 8 levers unless they're like scissors, you install all your shafts without tightening then you'll figure out your first spring, basically the thing is the heavier the spring the more robust the lever and springs go around %7 longer than lever arc movement, if you're dismantling a motorcycle gearbox try using a camera you can still get Polaroid cameras taking pictures with each single component you take away then simply start from the last numbered picture even draw things and mark them with permanent markers.

[@maskofsorrow]

This was excellently explained. Well done.

[@johnnieandmillie]

The best explanation I've seen so far!
