i am re-torquing my flywheel this weekend. there is a harley tool that basicly is a piece of flat stock steel.goes from one sprocket to the other to hold it in place while re-torquing. my question is does anyone know the length of this piece. i will make one as i work in the metals business. just need a rough measurement so i can cut a piece of steel and i can always grind a little off at home if needed. thanks alot guys! | ||

Hey,Eric,they've revised the torque spec. It is now somewhere around 210 lb/ft and most of our standard wrenches only go up to 150 lb/ft. I'm sure someone here will chime in regarding the new value.It was posted recently on the main page here as a banner.Be aware. | ||

Yep,in the "Knowledge vault" under drivetrain,and primary chain.Most of us don't have one of those bigger torque wrenches. | ||

DANG! 250LBS! I don't even weigh enough to stand on it! ha! | ||

thanks guys got what i needed. just for reference i made the tool to hold the flywheels from turning while re-torquing. i cut a piece of aluminum bar 4-1/8" X 2" X 1/4" w/ chamfered ends to hold them. should work schweeet. the new torque value is 240-260 ft.lbs. | ||

Hey if your bike is still under warranty will the dealer cover this for you? | ||

"...i can cut a piece of steel... " Don't use steel. It may be hard enough to damage the sprocket teeth it wedges against - use alumninum or another material softer than steel. | ||

firebolt said "i cut a piece of aluminum bar 4-1/8" X 2" X 1/4" w/ chamfered ends to hold them." yes steel would be a poor thing to use. i was once again "speaking before thinking"  thanks for the heads up though  | ||

Hey if your bike is still under warranty will the dealer cover this for you? No as it is only a service bulletin, not a recall. | ||

i don't know if they will cover me on this Scoobytwo.  i don't think the agrivation is worth it. they will most likely ask me to drop it off..keep it for god knows how long and give it back w/ some sort of fu*@ up.loose bolts,no oil,etc..etc.. and if not that they will do the usual warrenty bull crap of it's a buell not covered because...i don;t know it don't have a/c or something. (read fine print).. my bike isn't "stock" anyways and they will look at it all confused and i don't really like others working on my stuff. you know my modow..."let someone else fix your bike and expect someone else to screw it up".  i guess i have no faith in harley mechanics working on my stuff. i just got a cover off a bwb. so i will have it together soon enough and i bet it will still be quicker than a shop fixing it. | ||

how much can the clutch basket have before it goose out off round ? just asking  after 42ooo km and 6x removal off the primaire my chain is to bad to adjust, on one place good and 4" furder down the chain way to loose... and i know for sure that there's play on the basket needle bearing, but there's no refferance in the manual how to measure it ?

i may just change the clutch also while i'm in there. any good clutches out there that others have tried w/ good results? | ||

Eric, i know you're already doing this yourself and i don't know who your dealer is but... if you use Sheldons they've already done mine. it came loose and they knew about the issue/bulletin. Just FYI. | ||

Any dealer will do it under warranty. Any engine/drivetrain problems are part of your warranty. |
