• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

V100 Tech Talk

My 2018 Yamaha MT-10 has a loud clunk when selecting first. And it's not the slickest transmission on the planet going through the box. Every bike I have or have had has a different first gear engagement from neutral experience.

I have not (yet) purchased a V100. The reports of "clunky" first gear engagement don't concern me. Reports of oil leaks, coolant leaks etc... do.

I agree re the clunk Wallycycle. I've had three BMW boxers, all masters of the clunk.

FWIW, I now have a little over 30,000 mls on the V100 Mandello s (well, two V 100 Mandello s, a 2023 ans a 2024) without any issues. Not a peep. In fact, after the first one was destroyed I bought the exact same bike. I think is a great bike.
