Shoot after I got it home I ran it on the stand and everything sounded fine

You could only hear the gear drive sound in second gear and under a load

Any other gear it sounded normal
That's why I thought it could have been a bearing, to bad it took the shaft out with it...

Everything looks good other than the shaft

I'm no expert but the gears look fine

Those fugging snap rings are a fugging pain in the ass

Tearing into the tranny has always scared the crap outa me, but so far it's not that bad

So it was making a whirring noise huh? I wonder if a sasquatch can differentiate between whirring and grinding. :wink:

Those geary parts are spendy, hopefully you don't need too many.

holy crap that made me laugh.

Ya know, looking at that latest pic makes me think you could actually save that shaft. It looks like it's just bearing inner sleeve material glommed onto it. Maybe a lathe genius like Ron could turn it off for you?

How'd you know :oops:

Actually I'm running Astroglide/KY - 50/50
fully synthetic?

Seriously, does it look like the oil was a contributing factor in any way to the failure?

Good luck!

The tranny is not as intimidating as it looks at a glance, is it? I took mine apart when I was doing main bearings / seals / tranny bearings just to inspect all the gears and doohickeys. Everything looked great so it all went back in.

I think it was more of a lack of oil that did it in

Last Summer I rode +30 miles of trails before I realized where the water from my boiling over rads was going :shock:

Water pump bearing and seal failure

When I got it all apart there was just an oily, greasy film covering everything

Bike got so hot that it melted the teflon in the clutch cable. Melted the plastic cover for the kips actuator

Got parts on the way!!

Needle bearing was a tough find

Carvr found a couple in Montana of all places

Got all the rest of the bearings and seals for $40 from my buddy that gets them at cost

All I had to do was ride the 200 miles up there and back

I'm dying to ride. Gonna start freaking out on people soon I'm afraid. Getting twitchy....

Dance competition month kinda sux, out of town every weekend watching dance teams compete. My 12 y/o daughter is competing in tap/jazz/ballet. It's fun for a time, but we're all exhausted by this point. Next weekend will be my first chance to get out. Hoping the weather will be decent!
