    Time to stop driving and take it to a dealer. You don't want the engine or tranny self destructing in the middle of the road.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    Default Curious. ....🤔

    Are you in gear...? Is the motor running...? Could be in the shifting forks or the shifting drum. Now if it is doing this while ryding does it stay in gear...? Best would be to have it checked out being internal hard to tell from here...

    the pulley runs real close to the the external shaft going to the foot shifter so maybe the belt has shreads or something or drive sprocket is loose
