just to let u no Pete

Hi Pete and thanks for reply.
If that thrumming is rhythmic (not constant) then that's what I've got.... I didn't want to address the front sprocket as I am leasing the bike out to an interstater...
Thanks for reply Ron.
When I tried to align the belt, I loosened the right-side adjuster..... but the wheel doesn't move to the left because the belt tension pulls it to the right... so I used a...
No, I didn't Ron.
The best I could do, using a wooden wedge against the right side of the swing arm, was around 1.5mm gap to the inner flange... this was another pointer to a weird belt as usually I...
OK Ron
The bike is making a cyclic noise.... not a vibration... where would you start? The noise is under load from start to 50 mph.... back off the throttle and the noise stops....... It sounds...
thanks for reply....how would you classify a belt which has done 40,000 miles at 300 lbs? and gives weird effects when the tension is corrected?....my money says its stuffed...well i will know soon...
yes...no need to revisit,i did notice no part number or availability for the flywheel....i am chasing a cyclic noise which i hope to resolve with a new belt..i am definately not an advocate of belt...
after resetting the tension(release both sides evenly) on the belt the alignment was way off....it needed half a turn on one side to re align....this tells me that there is sthing wrong with the...
I bought a 2014 RT-S with 65000kms (40,000 mls?) on it.
When I checked the belt tension (Krikit 2) it was around 300lbs on the ground.
When I reset tension to 140lbs, the belt was no longer true on...
Hi all,
just wondering what causes the F3 to rev so high on starting? My RT is smooth, with minimal rpm increase... it can't be good for the engine, revving up with no oil pressure..... Is there any...
The 2014 RT has a second BUDS plug socket.its the one in the white sleeve
The workshop manual shows high and low CanBus wires only coming from it and then they go to the TCM.
The only help in the...
Is it possible to delete the start-up routine using BUDS/Mega?
I had an ECU Upgrade from Jase in Qld and the start-up routine was gone.
I had an ECU Upgrade from Monster and I think the...
Back in the day I had a 2013 RT, and on 2 occasions (both after trailering bike) the bike wouldn't start. It would crank over fine but not start. After around 10 secs of cranking it timed out and...
yes...have ordered both inner and outer....real nuisance as i couldnt draw the outer basket without removing the clutch cover...ah well,its better than doing a gearbox:clap:
Thanks for reply PMK..... Yes, she felt no stoppage, just no drive. I was able to prove all gears from back wheel to clutch hub centre and all smooth so really relieved, I wasn't looking forward to a...
had no trouble sourcing thru Melb Sea do...admit later model but sent you email just in case....Russ
A friend rang me... said she lost drive while ryding uphill at 70kph when it went bang then no drive. Thinking it's the pulley (the bike is 2015 RSS with 105,000 kms) I flatbed it home and start...
thanks Wiggy really appreciate your effort ill try to source a hitch locally
russ
thanks wiggy....will await cost
sent you a PM wiggy
hi pete
i still maintain that RR spring coil eliminators work......ie they dont stiffen the spring but they do stiffen the ride
but having read a recent post from Baja ron re raising/lowering the...
you cant stiffen a spring...sorry (docs coil eliminators work tho)
the air bag restores ride height when weight added
you need an aftermarket shock by the sounds
russ
its likely a $20 fix at the muffler shop Monk.....cover everything to avoid tears from splatter,espec the cluster
russ
these adjusters will change the height(and camber) of the bike
obviously both sides will benefit from being the same camber(starting point)

hi all
i recently pulled my front sprocket bolt as preventative maintenance,with the intention of coating the pulley spline with spline paste
but when i got to it,the paste had already been...
PMK advise should work if you do it properly
if not you would need to hold the clutch basket,not the pulley
when i refitted my bolt,i removed the yellow thread locker from it and used fresh blue...
hi smmove
as previously stated DESS error or"bad key read" will show on cluster
i would get in the habit of selecting neutral(SE6?)when you stop
that will eliminate the brake system from the...
hi steve
i agree...the oem black wheels look awful
your fix looks so much better
if youre looking to seal the alum then maybe try wood varnish
russ
hi Syciu
belt is not running central
check rear wheel bearings(both sides)
check front pulley for spline wear
good luck..russ
Okay, now that I know how to do the job and how the bolt/shocks come off.....is it really worth it??
I mean.... I'm sure they are a LOT better shocks and all, but for those who have changed to...
