does anybody know why my 500 moves when i put into gear? is the belt worn or would it be clutch problems. thanks

 

Could be either one.Change the belt and if it still creeps have the primary clutch rebuilt.The bushings stick and dont let the clutch release all the way.

 

Well.... Two things...

One. When you put it in gear, it will move somewhat. Not much to really say its "moving". It will move, just like when you put ur car in reverse or something, it will move by itself.

Two. If you took your EBS off, you lost your trusty compression brake, and it will definatly move a small amount, but not much either..

Either way, just look at your belt as ftwftlh says. I dont know about the primary cluth though.. Good luck.

mine did that too after replacing the second belt. it just went away after about 50 hard miles. still does it occasionally but not very often.

 

Have had this problem about 5 times in 10,000 miles. Take your primary clutch apart, there is a thin spacer behind your EBS between it and the inner sheeve. The EBS ends up wearing a groove into the spacer causing some play. It is a $.45 part..there is 1 stock from factory but put 2 and you will not have the problem again for a long long time. Problem solved..for sure!

 

Would this also cause hard shifting? Like when you go from forward to reverse

 

if its idled up too high it might as well. sometimes spray some wd 40 on the linkage at the pivot point and it might help the shifting problem.

 

Yes it would cause both because the front clutch is not releasing all the way.

 

Already posted sort of, but is the idle reeal high? If its to high, it might be engaging just from the high rpms

 

Correct..it would cause hard shifting just like ftwflh said because the primary is still partially engaged.
