You know, the sad fact is, that's probably what happened....

So much for HP to the wheels as opposed to a shaft huh?  |

maybe the twist of the motor, going through a transfer case offsets it somehow?

Yamaha wanted a certain look...
the pre-unit construction look (i.e. Harley)
LOL
The trans. case has no other purpose...all
shafts are 1:1 ratio...just moves it to the left.
Check out my photos on the Warstar build...mine is gone...right side drive.

Yeah, the first change is at 600 miles. 16,000 thereafter.
As for the purpose of the transfer case, that's something I think about a lot as I stare lovingly at my R* in the garage. Musky, you're of course correct that it moves the power to the left side of the bike. But I can't help but wonder if there's more to it. I mean, why couldn't they just take the power off the right side? No, something tells me that they built the motor and trans as a unit and then someone over in the styling department said "It's too short front-to-aft. It must be ronger, like Evrolushon Motor and Transmishion." (Spelling for effect.) At this point a meeting was called and they all went out for sushi. When the first round of tuna rolls arrived one guy took two of them to form a mockup of the shafts, and he used a noodle to illustrate the chain driving the aft shaft. He was then elected, on the spot, to head up the Transfer Case Development Team. Working closely with the Styling Department, they zig-zagged the power from the output of the transmission, aft to a point close to the swing arm pivot and then over to the left side where the Styling guys capped it off with our stylized Star Logo pulley cover.
That's what I think happened, anyway
