    No special tools needed (darn it!) need to get seals, etc. Just look at the parts fiche and just order the "wear" items you'll need, like the bearings, dust/grease seals, etc. Not a hard job to do. Dan

    Quick update, Churchbuilder nailed it. Wish I would have seen that when we tore it apart on Sunday the 14th. Coulda had it fixed by now. Gotta remember to SLOWLY go thru each portion of the driveline and inspect closer. If I would have just rotated the tranny while looking at the middle gear, I would have spotted it quickly and looked like a real pro! Now I gotta start all over again. I am however, looking into building a jig that would let me get in there without pulling the motor............ Interesting prospect for all those split clips and thrust washers that need replaced........... Dan

    Sorry Randy, should have said damper cam, right behind the middle pinion gear in the case. Dan

    Before you split the case, look at the damper cam (right behind the case half of the middle gear) and see if it's split. That is the case with Big Dudes bike, we're working on a fix now. It also could be that all is fine inside the case and you won't have to tear it down. Dan

    Turns out it is the driven cam, split right down the middle. Should have rotated it around first before looking elsewhere.

    That thread does a great job of describing the procedure. You'll have to take your bags off to make it easier to get at the rear downtube clamp screws, they're on each side of the shock just below the swingarm. A set of long metric allen bits makes it easier to remove/loosen everything. Good luck Clay, Dan

    Thats been there for a couple of months, helps to save on server space if you're not active on the site. So many lookers, so little server........... Dan

    That's a sly one Dan! Glad to hear you're feeling better, Bob. Hows the scoot coming along?

    Quick update, clutch boss has 14 thousandths clearance with the axle shaft, should only be 3-5 thousandths. Lots of chatter evident on the boss fingers. Clutch push rod would not return all of the way back in until I cracked the hose joint at the master cylinder. This was holding the clutch partially out allowing the slip to occur. System is still slow to allow retraction of the push rod quickly, still have to work on that. I figure the clutch boss wobbling along with the clutch plates being held out allowed the plates to create the grinding noise and it was transmitted to the other side. No other evidence has presented itself yet, so we're running with this! Dan

    We're checking into the possibility of clutch bearing or something in that area, but we'll let you know. Thanks for the offer Bob. Middle gear is excellent, u-joint perfect. Dan

    I would have to say that your ground on the bike-side harness is not hooked up to the frame. Find a suitable bolt and clean the paint off from under it and attach your ground there. If there's not one close, use a small tex screw and put one in somewhere. Just make sure to clean the point of contact. Dan

    You know you're in trouble if Inna-gada-davida starts playing.........

    Looks like a second gen!!! LOL Dan

    Try adjusting the secondary (noise) volume level. It is the round ring that is around your main volume control. I set mine about 11 on the clock dial and it works good for me. Other than that the mic pad might be dirty or the secondary volume control pot might also be dirty. Dan

    Hmmm, wonder how he came up with his screen name...........
  20. Dano
    We will pull the clutch basket next and check behind there. We also checked the output angled gear to u-joint, no play there. Am I looking for side-to-side play in the crank or main axle? Dan

    Was out to Big Dude's (Mike) house today to look at his grinder. He pulled a holeshot and when he went to grab second gear, he thought he missed it. Went to 3rd and it was there. Started making a grinding sound by the middle gear area, harrdly pulling itself down the road. Muffinman had him pull the final drive and driveshaft, all looks good. We pulled the middle gear cover off, cannot feel anything through there. Pulled the swingarm off and removed the output half of the pinion gear (which I thought would be gone) and it looked perfect. Pulled the clutch and could not find anything there. turning the inner clutch plate produced no grinding sounds. Dropped the oil pan, no extra materials in there. Before we disassembled everything, I started it and tried it myself. WIth clutch pulled in, no noise. As soon as you try to put it in gear, the grinding starts. As long as it's in gear, it will grind. Will hardly pull itself, even with my scrawny butt on it! I'm thinking we may have to pull the motor and split the cases to see whats going on in there, but any other opinions will be investigated first. Dan

    Sharp lookin scoot there Scott! Now you got the hardware to prove it! Did you bring any of the models home with you to properly display with your trophy? Good goin' Dan

    I'll throw one in there too. I'll be posting it on another thread, just throwing it in here too. Big Dude (Mike) has an 86 that has a stripped gear noise. He did a hole shot, went to grab second and it left him, he thought he missed a shift, went to 3rd, still grinding. will barely pull itself, we pulled the swingarm and the pinion is fine, checked the clutch and everything is OK there (PCW upgrade). Dropped the oil pan, nothing in there. The only thing I can think is to pull it and split the cases. Think we got something going on here? Dan

    You need to borrow my size 14's sometime....... they DEFINATELY leave an impression! Dan

    Good luck Bob, we'll be waiting to hear the results! Dan
