just started it...directdrive lock-out....

[DUB]

when I started my new motor for the first time a couple of days ago I just had to take a quick peak down at my new see through clutch cover. I was a little startled to see that the whole clutch system wasnt spinning perfectly true it looked like it had a little wobble in it. The motor didnt feel like it had any shakes or vibes. Has anyone noticed this before on theirs??

mine appears to spin nice and even no wobble

My lock out spins true but the adjuster nut as a slight wobble to it..

so you think my crank may be bent? it runs sweet and doesnt shake or viberate or anything weird

theres no wau your crank is bent if you dont feel it viberating... the slightest bend in your crank will have a shitload of viberation! you would notice something was wrong if that was the case.

hmmm.... let me think....maybe I should take the clutch apart and put it all back together. maybe something got into a bind when I bolted it together? :shrug:

If you didn't torque it evenly, you could've tweaked the lock up plate. Maybe that's it. :baseball_mitt:

Hahaha I loveit.

 

You are probably missing one of the thrust washers, either in front or behind the

basket. It GOT's to be shimmed tight else it be wobblin.

very possible if you didnt torque in a pattern to spread the pressure evenly it could be off just slightliy and your able to notice it when spinning.

Oh yeah, it's normal for that to wobble a little when there is no pressure on it.

Everything on that spinning assembly should be true and you shouldn't see any wobble. If you see wobble something needs to be checked before you have problems............ :beer:

well I went to cascade (only 30min from my house) And told the guys there what I thought my problem was so they fired up a couple of their bikes and after looking a them I realized that between the center adjuster looking a little off and the fingers on the lockout spinning it was all an optical illusion on my part. Thanks for the insight though :biggrin:
