Grinding gears
HajiWasAPunk said:
The gears on the bike were sticking bad. When we drained the transmission oil there were metal shavings in it and after removing the cover you could see some of the gear teeth were broken. When this is fixed, they (the dealer) had to open the whole motor up to get to everything.
Is this considered a new "bottom end" or is that referring to something else?
thanks.
Hello, i am new here, today i spent a few hours having a read and i must say, this site is PACKED with usefull information, its unbelievable!
Great job guys and girls.
If i recall correctly, Hajiwasapunk, you were saying that you did not use your clutch and asked if there is a downside of not using it.
I appologise if i am wrong about you saying that, as it may have been someone else.
But, As i am new to the sport i was wondering the same thing.
Others said that it didnt really do much damage unless you dont keep your revs high, i was wondering if that is truely the case.
Am i better off just using the clutch, as it is there for a reason, or is this kind of Gear grinding inevitable?
It sounds expensive, thanks :cool:
