Hey guys,
Decided to do some work on the dog today and pushed the bike forward as I thought it was in N. Moved forward about 3 'klunks' (from the primary side/front by the motor.) It caught then like normal in 1st. Pulled the bike back and the same 3 klunks then it catches...btw the bike rides just fine. It also makes a rolling/clunking noise when it's idling (had to bend down to hear it, never noticed before). Oh does this in every gear so it's not in the tranny.
So, I pulled the primary. I put a new clutch in 1000 miles ago and the light blue primary fluid I used came out dark dark grey. The drain plug magnet is loaded with very fine shavings. NO big shavings can be found or parts (like a part of a spring or something). Anyway, the whole clutch side looks great. Nut is exactly where I marked it when I changed it all out (as we all know they back off). Motor side nut is tight and doesn't look like its worked off at all (checked it then too). I put a ratchet to the motor nut and I can turn it the same 3 klunk sounding turns each way before it catches.
Bad compensator? From what I've been searching and reading, I think so, just don't want to go replacing good parts.
Thanks all, and since it's my bday if anyone wants to send over an open belt drive I'd appreciate it :2thumbs:
