OMG Sean, What a incredible task you successfully did, I just watched all 4 parts in my prepurchase research of the Raider. You are a amazing mechanic and musician, braver than captain James t Kirk himself willing to go bravely beyond where no gearhead has gone before. Thank you for all your videos. Mike t in Kelowna bc
This was amazing from start to finish, I now have a better understanding of what's all inside my raider...bought her used a month ago w 20k on her, all seems fine but it is an 08 so I'm a little worried now... thanks again for a very entertaining and knowledgeable video.
Great job! Thanks for making and sharing your videos! I'm in Ukiah California with an '06 Yamaha Stratoliner with 28,000 miles and no troubles so far...
Thanks, yes it's a big job. Contact Yamaha to know for sure. I have heard 08-09 for sure. The new parts are much stronger and parkerized so that tells you something.
@@HammerHeadGarage Thanks! So it’s okay to use it? I bought a spare to learn to rebuild and maybe use in a custom build and your series on this has been most helpful.
Well thank goodness I haven’t had any problems yet I have 20 thousand miles on it I am in Ontario Canada I might need you one day great mechanics are hard to come by
250km on the bike now without any troubles.

Thank you for these videos. I watched all four vids, and it's been like an ice-cold shower for my Stratoliner lust!
You are the RAIDER master! Your knowledge and talent to rebuild are incredible!
Thanks but I'm just a Motorcycle Mechanic.

Thank you for your kind comment. If you're not powershifting your bike you should be fine. Take care.

Thanks, glad to hear you are not having this problem. The new gears are so much stronger! thanks for watching.
Fantastic video and I had no idea how extensive simple gear change will be.Question what year models are effected by this issue.Thank you

sounds good! ads watched too yes sir
Thank you, Shaun.
Damn she sounds good
Yes, she is loud. I rode it for about 250 km. It pulls pretty decently.
I noticed on my case that the halves aren’t exactly aligned around the cylinder holes is this normal for production?
Yup its called core shift and it happens. some are worse than others.

I have a 2014 near puked when I seen this video now my ? Is this fix totally fix the problem or can this happen again?
Hi Will, the newly updated gear sets are made way better. They are parkerized. I highly doubt 3rd gear will ever be an issue again.
Where are you located

What year Raider and how much do You charge per hour?
2008 and we are in Nova Scotia. The Shop Charges $110
How much to fix that.
About 5 thousand.
I ride a 2008 Roadliner with 105k miles. This has me nervous now.
If you just shift it normal and don't power shift the bike you will be fine.
