Rage_kage Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Yep. Looks like its spun and has deep gouges, any input on what happened? Quote
banshee den Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 that sucks never heard of it spinning before. also anything else messed up are just what's pictured? Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 Is that piece with the gear stuck to the shaft? If so the copper piece with the oiling holes may be the culprit. Possibly a lack of oil. Or just a worn basket. Quote
Rage_kage Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Posted November 9, 2014 Yes the gear is pretty stuck on the shaft. I'm guessing im going to have to press it off Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 Well that's an issue. Why did that sieze to shaft? That's the most important question. What kind of oil were you running? Did you have the right amount? Was it maintained? How long was the motor together? Did you do anything prior to this? Is that oil plate in place behind the basket? These are all things that need to be taken into account before you rule out part failure. Because swapping parts won't fix it if you don't know what caused it. I work on a few bikes around the neighborhood so these are all thing I would ask. Let us know and maybe we can find out what happened. Quote

sheerider11 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Were you locking up your rear tires with the clutch disengaged? Any crash or sudden stop? What made you realize something happened? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Rage_kage Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Posted November 10, 2014 I'm guessing from the dent in the side of the rad and the frame having cracks and it hasn't had a easy life. And the polar vortex is coming through pa so I've started a complete tear down Quote
Rage_kage Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Posted November 10, 2014 that sucks never heard of it spinning before. also anything else messed up are just what's pictured?That's all that was messed up, that I've found so far Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Here's mine. I'm surprised to see yours spun like that. Quote
