I recently picked up a one owner 750 Maxim. It had been sitting in his garage, unused for the past 10 years, because it had a transmission problem. The gear pattern is reversed. 5-4-3-2-N-1. I have never worked on a motorcycle transmission before, so would apprecate any input on what the may be may be causing this. Craig [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yeah it sounds like the shift linkage is not directly hooked up to the shaft that goes into the engine, but instead is two or three pieces hooked together to form a sideways "L" if the "L" is upside down it would shift backwards. Never seen the bike. Dont know. Maybe someone took the engine apart and put the gears in backwards. Start with something simple then work your way up.

Craig, If it's not one down and then four up, it probably had some sort of linkage between the lever and the splined shaft that was removed for some reason. One down and four up is pretty standard.

Here's a parts diagram from Bike Bandit showing the linkage: http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1982-yamaha-xj750j/o/m8222#sch227903%c2%a0 HTH, Mike Martin, Louisville, KY ________________________________ From: RobertWichert Craig, If it's not one down and then four up, it probably had some sort of linkage between the lever and the splined shaft that was removed for some reason. ===============================================

This diagram shows the arm on the shift shaft as pointing up. If this arm was mounted on the shift shaft pointing towards the bottom then this would reverse the shifting pattern.

It turned out the shifter shaft was pointing toward the bottom. The bike was parked for the last 10 years because of this. Oh, and with gas in the tank and carbs. I spent over 8 hours cleaning the gunk out of those carbs. Who ever came up with the idea of putting 4 carbs on one motorcycle anyway? Thanks for the help guys.
