Ok. Been planning on attending Homecoming for 6 mo's now. Yesterday my tranny locked up. Heard an odd noise when riding. Pulled over. The belt almost fell off. Took it apart. Looks like bearing let go. Also broke a shift fork (3rd & 5th) & Speed sensor got ground down. Everything else looks good. I have parts coming. Come hell or high water, this X1 will be put back together ready to ride out with the "crew" Friday morning! I never saw this coming. No problems at all with this trany/clutch. Shifted fine and not a drop of oil on the ground when parked. Rear belt has always been adjusted as per the manual. What the hell happened? I always thought these trannys were bullet proof with proper maintenance? I hope to see you guys in East troy this weekend.....? | ||

Ouch, that sucks. I know what you mean, I always thought the bottom ends were bullet proof until I had to split the flywheels and several square bearings and two out of three bearing cages fell out. Regular oil changes and maintenance but still a catastrophic event. It's back up and running, with some goodies. Hope you can get back on the road quick. | ||

"Rear belt has always been adjusted as per the manual.." You are probably going to get a lot of feedback on this...Apparently this is yet another area where the Manual needs to be corrected... Scary loose seems to be the consensus. | ||

Kal, I went a bit looser than the books recommends. However, What I'm concerned about is when I sit on the bike. This belt is way tight. Is that the norm? Please...anyone chime in! I only have a few hours to make any final adjustments. The trany is back together. Thanks | ||
