clutch basket question

[Silver Bullet]

how do you tell a-h- basket from a -I - basket????

[Cougar]

each one has a (letter) stamp in them.

sorry it took so long to get back--the basket that I took out was supost to be a I basket. and I can't tell that it is'nt. but the only # on it is 26H01 t-3. these are the only # on the thing. so i'm wondering which one it is. I cant find any one who knows the # of the I basket ....so if any one who has an I basket happens to know the # , would you mind giveing it to me?? thanks

I just dug this up....Hope it helps you.

 

In addition to the normal replacement part, an "I" size primary driven

gear is available (4XY-16150-09-00). The "I" size primary driven gear is

not used in normal production. It was produced to reduce the normal gear

whine noise the Venture engine emits and some customers find annoying.

 

Installation of the "I" size primary driven gear results in slightly

greater gear lash. We have found this additional lash, in some cases

reduces gear whine noise or it may move the peak noise level to an rpm

not normally used while cruising, either of which can be more acceptable

to a customer.

Well hopefully your Dealer is one of the "good ones" and will do the job over again for you using the right clutch basket!

 

Good luck and ride safe!

Guys,

 

The alpha character is not stamped onto the back side of the primary driven gear, but scribed with a roto tool. Or whatever you would use to scribe your name on a tool. The difficult part is that you have to take the basket and gear out of the bike so you can see it on the back side of the gear.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Rick
