Sudden noise, chirping, & vibration from RHSide engine - anyone else? Ideas?

[JP58]

Well got the engine out and transmission off the engine. Not a job for the light wrenchers. It really was a bitch getting it out. BRP engineering need to think about their techs. Anyway, I just took pictures - see below. There is no way to do a step by step. You have to just wing it. But you do need to take the left passenger foot mount assembly off to get it out; also unbolt the gas tank and lift it up about 6 inches or so. Oh, also destroyed my recalled front pully. BRP had the techs Locktite it on with some white color crap. You won't be able to ever get these off without ruining them! Bad BRP.! Out another 130 bucks.

You are a certified WILDMAN!

Now for the 'FIX'!

Well got it all back together. Rides and shifts great no more noisy bearing or chirping clutch. The imput shaft to the clutch drum was moving around causing the clutch to chirp. Of course the transmission fault light is on and needs to be 0 out with buds like the repair manual said would need to be done. Found someone near me that has buds. Going over to his place tomorrow.

I found someone with the BUDS II from my SOAR riding group. He reset the Transmission sensor and cleared the code. Rode it about 200 miles. All is good. One happy camper here.

I could do that. You have the new RT now right?

I do ... Bought a new, left over 2022 RT S2S last fall. Sold my F3S to an individual from Chicago. I'll be ordering a belt isolator soon. We'll be in touch.

I am almost speechless. Job well done and appreciate you sharing with us. Just wished you lived in South Carolina. Best wishes.
