Checking final drive

[Annblankinship]

No out of ordinary noise. Just all of sudden had grease on rim after a 80 mile ride

had the same issue/complaint until I moved it to a more upright position.

On my first demo ride, I thought I'd never get it hauled down from 60mph! Complained to the salesman and he moved the pedal to a 'more upright position' and it made a big difference. Keeping that in mind as I go to pick my rally up (not soon enough!)

Hi cueman ref r/ d drain plug yes it's another bad design all BMW shaft drive are easy to do ( I've had dozens) but Can Am carnt do it so let's make it hard and messy Regards Nico 75

They should make the people who design them actually work on them and we wouldn’t have these issues. :2thumbs: cueman

Hi ref rear drive plug , use LONG 8mm welded to a socket ( cut off the bend and push it down into socket and weld it , now you have a spl tool for the job regards Nico 75 ( wobble end Allen key )

I would not recommend the ball end t-handle allen wrenches. The ball end doesn't set flush in the bolt head and will round off if you aren't careful. Best to use socket allen on an extension with ratchet.

Hi cueman I've just made a long 8mm Allen key , welded in to 3/8 socket it will undo the idiot placed plug regards Nico 75

Hi Nico75, I got the tools to get it out that work for me. I had to get more creative to make a tool to get the plug back in. I got a long Phillips head screw driver and put a piece rubber fuel line that fit fairly tight into the plug. That rubber gives some flexibility to more easily start the threaded plug. IMO, The people that design these problems should be made to work on them and maybe they come up with more user friendly designs. :gaah: cueman
