Look Ma no teeth

[AKRefugee]

For some reason I was taking off from a light to get up to freeway speed and my bike stopped accelerating and a grinding noise proceeded to emanate from the rear end. Got it home and found this. [ATTACH]79648[/ATTACH] Couldn't be from the um "aggressive" shifting could it? :-)

Yikes.

How many miles are on that?

 

How often did you repack that with grease?

What did it look like last time you changed your tire? Glad you were able to get back home.

88,500 mi and every time I change a rear tire. Last change at 81,000. High Pressure Moly

Good to know. I have often wondered how long some of these parts are expected to last.

 

If memory serves me correctly, FLB_78 (I may have the numbers on his screename wrong) had a similar issue around 105k miles or so. As far as I know he was good about maintaining his too.

I think its done.... Lucky you got home. Wonder what would cause it? Of course I run mine so easy that's never been a problem.

I wonder where the grease all went. That sure looks like it has been dry for a long time.

Do you ever pressure wash the bike? Car wash stall?

[bongobobny]

Convert it to a trike and then you won't have that problem...:banana:

What did it end up doing to the gear teeth on the differential. I am assuming the female diff gear is made from harder material?

Yes it is and it appears ok.

I would guess that part from Yamaha would be quite expensive. E-bay has complete used wheel and tires for under 100 bucks. I got one a couple of years ago and it is great having a spare rear tire. Don't have to get rid of that one with lows miles left on it just because I'm heading out a a trip. That would also give you that part you need.

Tire is junk on this one but only 29k on wheel
