I finally have enough of the bent parts from when I dumped my bike replaced to ride. But I found a noise coming from my tranny that wasnt there before. Its only heard when the bike is in neutral and I let the clutch out. I dont hear it before I go riding only after. What did I break??? | ||

Could just be paranoia, but it might be worth checking your primary chain tension (as it is very cheap, and very easy). I don't see how that could happen from a tipover, but I can see how it could have been there a while and is noticable to "paranoid ears". Many of the old style tensioners are broken. And did it lay there bleeding for a while? Could it just need more tranny fluid? | ||

Nope got it back up pretty quick and the noise is pretty loud think I would have noticed it before. | ||

Is the primary tensioner that is in there still original? Its a really common failure. A remote possibility (and about all I can figure at this point) is that your tensioner was broken, and your backplate was laying somewhere harmless, and after the bike flopped it is now laying somewhere much less harmless. A long shot, admittedly. OH YEAH! Now I remember what was nagging at the back of my head.... Probably totally unrelated to the drop, but if your crank nut (that holds the magnet cup over the stator) is loose, you get exactly that symptom, only noisy in neutral, with an almost "ringing" with each engine pulse. I would imagine that either nut (crank or clutch) is loose, that would cause what you are hearing. If thats the case, you don't want to ride it far, if that crank end gets chewed up, you have a serious problem. |
