Clicking noise again

[RSTDRIDER]

I've got that dreaded rearend noise again! Just put a new rear tire on in Oct. and greased everything really well. This about the 4th time. I ride in rain quite often but that shouldn't make a differance. Anybody else have the same problem?

You may be using the wrong grease. Go to your Honda shop and get some Honda Moly grease (I don't recall the exact name but someone will chirp in with it). It stays on longer and works better.

:yikes:My 07 had a clicking noise coming from the rear end took it back 4 times then they found out the rear axel was 10 degree's out of round they told me it was a factory defect they had rotated the drive shaft like the service bulletin said to 4 x before a mechanic finialy put a micromiter on the axel and found the real problem they put a new axel in it and has been perfect ever since... just some food for thought.

I think I have the same problem. I had my '07 RSTD in for it's first service last month. Now I am hearing a clicking noise out of the final drive area when I roll the bike forward or back. I took it in today to the dealer to have them look at it. Only 1100 miles on the thing so everything should be covered. Glad you put the tech tip up. More than likely the issue since they did mess with the final drive for the service. If they baulk or play dumb, I will mention the tech tip. Wish I had read this before I dropped it off.

Same click, same problem, when I got my 05 RSV took it in had the Chutch hub drive pins reset, Problem solved. that was 4 years ago.

My 07 started making the famous clicking at 800 miles from brand new. Dealer 2 1/2 hours away, not sure they are competent enough to handle the problem anyway and did not want to leave it with them for 2 weeks or more till they got their act together. I purchased Loctite Moly Paste at Grainer and tore it down myself using the tech service bulletin. No more clicking. It is not hard to do.

Just got the scooter back. Dealer said the spline in the final drive was bone dry. Had to be from when it was assembled. Greased it up the tech notes on the repair order said they performed "technical update M2005-015". Not the same number as above, but it worked.

I went step by step with the instuctions sent by ECK and when all was back together the clicking was GONE!! I can see where you might want to do all these steps each time you change tires. Thanks for all the input!!
