Consumer Description

I WAS RIDING HOME FROM COLLEGE AND I DOWN SHIFTED FROM 4TH GEAR TO THIRD AND HEARD A NOISE AND THE BIKE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN HOWEVER IF I SHIFT INTO THIRD IT MAKES A HORRIBLE TAPPING NOISE. SO, I HAVE BEEN RIDING THE BIKE WITHOUT USING 3RD GEAR. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WHO LIVES ON VERY LITTLE VET BENEFITS WHICH DO NOT ALLOW FOR ME TO PAY FOR A TOP END REBUILD WHICH IS REQUIRED TO CHANGE THE GEAR. NOR CAN I PAY FOR YAMAHAS NEW THIRD GEAR ( WHICH IS NOT THE SAME PART OR PART # THAT THE BIKE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH ) THAT THEY CAME UP WITH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
