Title: New member - Problem with the third shift
Post by: TommyCRO on January 06, 2015, 05:40:15 PM
Greetings from Zagreb by a new member. I drive Venox about 3 years and I'm super happy with it. So far I rode a Yamaha SR125, Honda VT600, Kawasaki VN800, but I somehow happiest with Venox 250. Low fuel consumption and low maintenance costs - at least here in Croatian.
Unfortunately, I have a problem with the third shift and I have to change the gear, do you also have this problem?
They told me that the fix is simple, but it must open its whole machine. :-(

Ha! Croatia... Look up Axy for us, and kick him in the nutz. I miss him.

If your mechanically inclined the hardest part is getting the engine on the bench. I've been posting here for 6ish years, and yours is only the second Venox I have heard of w/ shifting problems. As I remember the other fella had a similar problem where he couldn't hit the taller gears.

Try the Search for Venox/Shift or Not shifting.

It was some time this past year.

Welcome to the forum Tommy!

I'm surprised that you have not heard of this problem
It is a relatively common problem in Venox's
it is possible to work in the US from different materials, but for the European market ...

thanks for the welcome!

The internal parts will be the same. They don't change engines for Europe/USA.

The Venox is not really too popular here because Honda/Yamaha make too many cool bikes in the same price range, and most thinhs that carry a China sounding name don't sell very well here.

Most people forget that before Honda/Yami were big sellers they had to compete w/ Harley/Indian here.
We all tend to ignore the fact that almost Everything we buy now comes from China.
