I think others have had this but I never noticed it before. About 5-10mph in low, give a little gas, let off, little gas you can hear the drive trane slop around a bit <clunk>. Its not the shifting gear grinding noise, just a lsight clunk. So just to double check this is normal ? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

its totaly normal. kawi uses square cut gears. they all do it.

 

Cool, thanks. I was a bit paranoid after I jumped a ditch hot and came down avoiding a culvert and heard another clunk, I assume its just the CVT but after that I was edgy.

Also was stuck in some sand, put in 4x4 trying to backup, the rear spun a bit <5mph, and I heard the front trying to engage. Would you know if you screwed somthing up there?

Funny, all these questions after a weekend of screwing around [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for helping out a perpetual worrier.

 

hey plainsman, nice to hear from you again. get any good riding in lately. I'm waiting for you and your buddies to come riding at the desert. I think your shifter is out of adjustment. on my old 650 mine was out of adjustment. it went klunk, klunk klunk when I was riding slow, going over bumps and sometimes when i bliped the throttle at low speeds. check your adjustment it's on nyrocs web site. I'll bet you a 12 pack of beer that's what it is. you can bring me that 12 pack when you come down to ride.

 

Hey man, I have talked to them, were trying to get a dog hunt/atv trip worked out. Hard with everyones scheds and all my friends have little kids, all us 30 somthings. I was just thinking about that rough dirt bike track we were on and how I would like to try my friends SP800 on that track.

 

You in 4x4 when you hear the noise? If you are, it is the 3 cogs in the front diff that engage into 3 slots in the front drive assembly that make that noise. There is a ton of slop on those cogs so they bash around a lot when you are bouncing over crappy terrain.

 

I notice it in 2wd.

 

It's buggered. Sell it and buy a Brute Force!! KIDDING!!!! Probably just tranny noise like alltoos said.

 

Spoke with Dr Nyroc, its just the gears taking up the slack.

Got a bead on a new set of Mudlites and ITP rims for $200 clams. Have to see how that turns out.
