[QUOTE="C&C, post: 525372, member: 435"] I remember reading about a possible reason, many moons ago, for not wanting to increase the present transmission to a six spped. It seems that Yamaha could squeeze in a sixth gear in the current crankcase but that it would require the reduction of the size of the gears (i.e. less robust). With the torque available from our 1300cc powerplant it just might not be the thing to do. I don't know if what I just said it true but the premise seems plausible. [/QUOTE]
