Hi Guys,
I have a 2003'ish VT400C Ace.
The gearbox is a bit noisy, (kind of whining in 1st, 3rd and 5th. 1st is by way the worse...), so I'm guessing it could be those cogs? The noise disappears when the clutch is disengaged so I think that eliminates the connecting drive cogs from crank to primary shaft... right?
I have seen complete transmission assemblies on eBay from the States but they are all from VT750's as they didn't get the VT400 out there.
Now I understand these two bikes are pretty similar, except for the piston/cylinder specs but do any of you know whether VT750 made-up gear shafts would fit my VT400? If so, it seems like quite a handy way to get a gearbox overhaul done for not too much money!
Thanks & Regards

Not being a mechanic on bikes mate I don't know for sure. As you said and I believe it to be true the only difference is the pistons and bore . Don't know about crank though . Could probably find out from specs between the two .Sure someone else will chime in eventually . You may be right about Simon he never answered me back on FB

It's one we can buy from Supercheap Auto . Apparently a 3rd of the cost of Genuine one. However yours may be a bit different being older model .

Hi Ray
The filter looks very similar but not easy to tell from the picture.
Only got the picture of the oil filter. Where's page 4?
