Final Drive jerky

[Bikerjim]

Final drive seems a bit jerky (more than normal) mostly in second but now 3rd

im thinking clutch or throttle needs adjusting

usual questions , what is it and is it expensive ?

Many thanks

Jim

Final drive jerky

Thought with the title this belonged in the GStro section

Sensible replies will be along soon

you mean the transmission as a whole I assume, not the final drive itself (the big lumpy bit in the middle of the back wheel)?

If so, yes throttle balance & TPS reset need checking first. It ought to be covered in your next service if you can last that long.

Clutch is self adjusting.

what is it

May well be your imagination

is it expensive ?

If I am right. No.

 

[Bayman]

Bloody hell, my imagination has cost me a fortune over the years, but hey......

 

[Pukmeister]

It could be one of the driveshaft joints inside the swingarm about to let go.

Then again it could be nothing.

If you are really that concerned, why not visit your dealer for peace of mind ?

Went for its MOT today (i forgot) and me thinks not a problem

No excesive wheel play !!!!!!! FAIL

Nip down to SBW and its final drive failure only done 13000miles

Good news is its under warranty Bad news is might not be fixed until Saturday

Wapping my imagination isnt that good

I'm often confused by your aphorisms, this is just one of the many examples.

Do you have a drink problem ??

It's between Aphonia and Aphrodisiac....

You are certainly right. It's a fourm, for sure.

Final drive failure at 13k Yikes ...... by your laid back approach tells me this isn't uncommon ..... what have i done by buying this bike

 

[Bikerjim]

Im thinking "its a money pit"

It failed its MOT today again after having the repair done.

The headlight wants to be a star and now point upwards and its £220 for a new one , apparently the adjusters break when you hit a pot hole

Its a off road bike that cant hit a pot hole ?

Im going to honda and have alook at the nice new VFR 1200
