Yamaha - Drive Gear - Engine Gear Component - 6C5-11536-00-00

Overview

When it comes to transferring power inside the engine, the drive gear is doing a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes. If it starts to wear, you’ll usually hear it first—whine, chatter, or a rough feel under load. I’ve seen small gear wear turn into bigger internal issues if it’s left too long. Keeping a solid drive gear in place helps everything stay smooth and running the way it should.

Key Features

• Primary Power Transfer – Delivers rotational force to connected engine components.

• Precision Cut Teeth – Ensures smooth engagement and reduces internal wear.

• OEM Fit Accuracy – Matches Yamaha factory specs for proper alignment and operation.
