I remembered to check the play, I didn't have any in mine. I couldn't get any movement out of it and I was shaking the whole lift when I was trying.

 

It's finally finished.

Got the chain tensioner installed, decided to stick with the HD tensioner because of mixed reviews on the wedge.




All buttoned up and fresh Formula+ added.

 

It seemed pretty screwy to me, but I noticed some slight play in mine. I took my hub off and stuck it on two other tranny main shafts and it felt the same on all three. I became so concerned that I "went looking" and found a long thread on another forum started by some guy that had the perceived problem and had even purchased a new hub and still had this fore-aft play (wobble). I think he had even posted a video on you tube? The only thing it could be is a sloppy fit between the hub and transmission main shaft splines...or a defective hub bearing. Some folks think the hub tightens-up against the pressed-on inner primary race, but that is not the case. The hub tightens-up against the boss at the end of the threads on the main shaft. Anyway...this thread went on-and-on about it and some tech. chimed-in and swore that it was typical and he found it to be the case on most of the ones he went into, be it EVO or TC. He went on to say that some tech's actually applied lock tite over the splines to tighten this up. I was just curious to know if anybody else had noticed it.

 

I'm about to do the 30T change on my wife's trike. I am wondering what you ended up with for the TTS calibration number for the VSS to dial the speedo back in?

Thanks and excellent write up by the way!

I'll have to consult my notes which are at my dads garage right now. I think I'm close, will get the final tweaks if needed once I can ride it with the GPS to give me its calculated speed.

 

I just wondered what your calculated VSS number was to get it in the ball park. She has a GPS so if I can get it close enough, I should be able to dial it in. It's going to be a few months before we can ride here. Overnight lows in the Chicago area are going below the goose egg. Thanks agin for the detailed write up!!

My calculated number is 2345.

 

Your number checks close to what I came up with which is 2346 but naturally that is going to differ between rides with tire wear etc. Great info!

 

Good to see we arived at a pretty close number.

 

msocko3 Was that a SE COMPENSATOR , if so was it standard in all Triglides? Thanks TOM.
