transmission compatibility
 

hello... i appologize for jumping in as a noob to this forum and asking very technical questions but time is of the essence... I have a 2000 VTR 1000 superhawk that makes some crazy noises every now and then when i shift to 5th gear (sounds like quarters being thrown into a dryer) i have a chance to get a new transmission fairly cheap but it is from a 1998 vtr 1000... are they compatable?

Yes, they are compatable. No changes to the motor or transmission have been made since the bike's introduction in 1998.

They're the same.

thank you very much! i ride a bmw r65 each day now but i miss my vtr soooo much!

New transmission from a '98 VTR? Somehow, in my brain, that does not compute.

Hmmm, maybe it's "new" to him?

And I bet it won't sound like quarters being thrown into a dryer.
