Yamaha what is this noise???

[kdub41]

when i shift into gear from a long ride or when the motor is hot, my car slams or grinds into gear what could this be? maybe just a linkage adjustment? because if i shut it off and leave it in gear there is not problem or when i first start it in the morning and put it into gear its fine, or let it cool it engages fine. Its only when i put it into neutral when its hot and then put it into gear. please let me know so i can fix this.

No biggie Kdub, adjust your linkage and/or your idle and your good to go! When we hitting Ocotillo up again???

 

[kdub41]

Why you bumming a ride? What's wrong with your car???

 

[kdub41]

Your not gonna breakdown, that's why you got a Yamaha!!! It might be a little warm, but it will be well worth it! Gonna be a good time, you don't wanna miss it!!!

Check the throttle cable where it runs through the frame under the hood. When i wired my lights a added a couple zip ties to hold some stuff in place and my car started doing the same thing. I cut the zip tie around the throttle and the problem went away. The cable should be loose.
