Why is my motorcycle stuck in neutral?
If it’s stuck in neutral just slightly rock the bike and try again. If not let the clutch out about half way and try again if at a stop light and it does that let it out half way and kick that shift lever hard down.
When did the Yamaha yzf1000 Thunderace come out?
22 owners have reviewed their YAMAHA YZF1000 THUNDERACE (1996 – 2003) and rated it in a number of areas. Read what they have to say and what they like and dislike about the bike below.
What kind of engine does a Yamaha Thunderace have?
The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace’s big old 1003cc five-valver is a meaty, proven and fast motorcycle. 147bhp may seem old hat today, but the Yamaha Thunderace’s torque spread reminds of Kawasaki’s ZZ-R1100 and is smooth, solid, glitch-free and versatile… even if the transmission is a touch notchy.
What kind of brake caliper does a Yamaha Thunderace have?
The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace also marked the first appearance of Yamaha’s awesome one piece, four-piston brake calipers that have also adorned the R1 which are two-finger powerful and make a mockery of some six-piston designs. Of course, this being a ’90s kid there are no electronics or any other fancy business.
Which is better Yamaha Thunderace or Yamaha Superbike?
But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room for two, the Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace now represents great value.
