Counter Shaft Pulley

[docdoru]

Splines worn out (80%) on the counter shaft pulley :yikes: waiting for the parts...pps:

 

[tatt2r]

Did they say why it happened ?

 

[docdoru]

In order to prevent the main shaft worn, the splines are made of a softer material.

Heavy hand from dead stop will have a bit of stress to the splines...

Now question.. Splines in pulley or on the shaft??

Any pics of the bad pulley off the Spyder? I should have taken a few photos of my broken Spyder. On mine, the bolt in the center of the pulley sheared off about an inch inside the machine.

It's probably not a bad idea to lube that shat with some good moly grease. I would back off the tension a bit too.

I'm getting a loud metalic snap that appears to becoming from
the back wheel assembly. It only does it during rolling the throttle on or
off and it isn't consistent (all the time).
What did yours sound like when you noticed the problem?
I had the bike at the dealer Friday ant they said it was probably
drive line wear and don't worry about it....That makes me feel good
as Gatlinburg is less than 2 weeks away.

I would check your wheel bearings to start with. I'm not sure why Brian's bolt broke on his but my guess is a bad bolt that was over torqued.
It could just be hard unlubricated miles on Doc's with a lot of belt tension. :dontknow:

Symptoms: grounding noise when pushed the bike forward; no noise when pull-it in reverse. Changed 2 bearings in the back (25 and 40,000 miles) and the belt was adjusted in the shop (sonic device). Waiting for parts...:gaah:

Premier Edition 1424 (effgjamis): his Spyder.
He referred to the BRP DPS update June 2009.

My clicking or clunking noise was definitely coming from the motor / transmission area. It only was noticeable when I was decelerating and the engine reached about 3000 RPMs. If I pulled in the clutch, the noise went away.

Finally wore something out on it besides the Hindle pipes?

Clicking and clunking is almost always a wheel bearing and if it load related then you can just about bet that's it. The noise will travel through the belt and it will sound like it's in the motor.

 

[Lamonster]

Could be that output shaft bearing-causing the bolt to fail.....

I don't see how, unless you can move the shaft around by hand. The bolt is just a retainer and there is no load on it. My guess is he had a bad bolt to start with, somebody ran it on with an impact and it was just a matter of time before it broke.
