Are you losing gearbox oil?

 

[blastermaster01]

If Its white smoke and smells like burnt plastic then its a bad crank seal.

 

[donrladd]

yes it loses oil did not noteis any smells but not sure

 

[fioz600r]

Then it is the crank seal on the clutch side of the motor.

Are you sure your not over filling it.That what it sounds like.You have a little window on the right side of the motor at the bottom.You fillit 1/2 to 3/4 way up the window.

No you dont have to split the cases to change it. You have to take the clutch cover off, the complete clutch basket and then the main drive gear it is behind that.

Do you have a srevice manual?

It's really easy to change that seal, I had to change mine about 2 wks ago. If you haven't taken your clutch cover off before, I would recommend getting the gasket and some Yamabond gasket sealer because the gasket will want to tear on you. The seal you have to change has a keeper in front of part of it, and it's a biotch to get the one screw off that is holding it. You don't have to take that off if you don't want to. I didn't. Good luck with it.

blaster gear box takes 650cc's of oil. but it does sound like the crank seal has crapped out...
