engine off coasting

[b2002]

Thanks for the replies. My concern was for the gear lubrication, but it sounds like the consensus is that is not an issue.

is there a pump associated with the gear oil?

Says right in the manual that it's a bad idea for the transmission.

Owners manual, 5-3.

And jammin through the gears, doing burnouts, and launching at the drag strip isn't??? Phooey on the manual Coasting hurts nothing.

Coast in neutral the bike will hardly roll if in gear & the clutch pack is cold.

I run mine without oil, anyway. What the f does Yamaha know about it.

Ive done both the neutral roll into the driveway and the neutral roll out of the driveway. No problems. Drags like **** if its still in gear with the clutch pulled in, no guud.

no it doesnt. it says for long distances. I know that is vague and a little subjective but even a fat guy like me can walk 50 yards without getting winded. if any coasting was unsafe they wouldnt qualify it with "Long" heck i think most folks coast longer than 50 yards when pulling to a stop light

50 yards may be a bit long since I engine brake to a stop. is that bad?
I don't think coasting will hurt anything.

OP asked about engine-off coasting. 50 yards every time you ride would add up.
"The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running."

My other answer would be get a pipe that allows you to come and go without a noise complaint.
