Any one have an idea how a mouse got into the clutch cover on a 02 p650

 

Yes, it crawled into the CVT inlet vent or outlet vent. Those little guys can squeeze through things like CVT fan vanes.

I am not sure what effect a mouse would have on belt squeal, but I think it would cause squeal rather than reduce it. Blood belt dressing? Fur belt dressing? Probably would cause the belt to slip, at least right after the faint squeaking sound.

Otherwise, if it didn't just lay there dead I imagine the belt would chew it up and the airflow would blow bits of mouse out.

 

Yeah, the same way they got into the intake of my buddys 03 Sportsman, once there, the whole family clogged up the airflow and it wouldnt run right, After a day of riding the not so powerfull bike, it got to smelling really bad. they chewed up his air filter, some wires, and all the foam stuff around there. I would be looking the bike over really good, they like to eat insulation and stuff......

 

LOL my nieghbor came over other day after getting back from some friggin sunny island in the middle of who knows where....
Anyway his 4x4 was makin an awful noise from clutch area he thought motor was toast..So I took clutch cover off and a ship load of chestnuts and other debrie came out. I mean these guys were stockin for winter..They get into everything mice chipmunks squirls...

 

squirrels are sneaky ones, we have a hunting camp in the southern tier one weekend we went down and found a dead gray squirrel floating in our toilet, no idea how he got there LOL

 

When I first moved out to the country,I put my Wolverine and my son's quad (an LT80 back then) in an old wooden shed by the woods. Between moving and work, they sat without running for over a week, then I took them out to wash up before riding. As soon as the Wolverine started, mice ran out from under it, so I checked it out, mouse poop every where, pulled the air box cover, it was almost full of seeds and nest !!! The kid's quad had a nest on the battery, and some foam chewed out from under the seat. After that, until I had a garage put up, they sat outside under a tarp. Little furry bast-ards !!!!
