Starter ring gear chewing up inside of primary
#21
Do you think having the belt close to the outer range on the tranny pulley could cause such a problem?

hahah...maybe whatever caused the main issue JUST happened!
I've been intending to replace the primary cover anyway
what helluva job is there, then? are we talkin transmission rebuild and ****?

well you need to pull the inner primary for sure, you may need to pull the trans as well. I dont think the rear pully or belt will have anything to do with that as its a separate output shaft. My guess is that the bearing for the input shaft is toast. with the bike in neutral does the clutch basket spin freely? do you feel any binding or rough spots?

I'm gonna have a friend come over with some tools tomorrow or this week, pull the whole primary assembly, and take the clutch to a shop to have em check the bearing, or I'll learn to do it myself.
I'll check everything "behind" there as well.
keep the ideas coming, and thanks!

the way it works is...
The front sprocket from the crank goes to the clutch, which turns the input shaft. When you pull the clutch, it freewheels the transmission. The input shaft then goes into the gearbox. the gears on the input shaft are active and drive the gears on the output shaft. the output shaft is where the rear belt drive sprocket is.
In the video you made, when you were moving the clutch basket, there was significant play on the shaft in the center. this is the input shaft for the trans. I HOPE its just the clutch on your bike! but from what I have seen in your vid, I dont think it is.
Definately take more pics and keep me posted once the clutch basket is off. When your in there, be sure to change the coupling the jack shaft sits in that is in the main primary. you can only pull this out with the clutch basket off.

update
pulled clutch basket off. Took more effort to get the clutch nut off than the compensator! Thinking the last wrench tightened the clutch nut way too tight...possibly putting stress on the bearing?
No play in main shaft...everything seems fine there.
Any particular brand to look for in a clutch bearing?
