Rear Wheel

ryntintin2 · 07-03-2008, 3:49 PM

I have a weird possible problem. I thought my chain was making noise so i adjusted it and cleaned and lubed it and still got a weird noise when i got on it or popped it up or turned left. I looked down and what i beleive is called the final drive which is connected to the rear sprocket and the rear wheel will move ever so slightly after the tire stops. If i leave it in gear and roll it back and forth i can see this. What could possibly be the problem here without tearing it apart and looking at it.

I think you have a worn out cush drive.

BTW: thats the hard rubber that goes on over the spocket before you set it into the wheel. Its 15 years old. Do you pop alot of wheelies? It is intended to give the trany some relief when you accelerate and back off.

LOL not till recently and thats when it all started.... it looks to be called a "DAMPER, RR. WHEEL," Does that sound correct?

I believe that it the correct term for the part. Just double check with your dealer.

If you have a garage, secure 2 eye bolts 1/2" x 5" to the joists in the ceiling. Remove the tali section of the bike and use to heavy duty straps for tranporting bikes. Secure each 1 to an eye bolt and then to the subframe and crank it up.

You can also put a block under the sidestand and tilt the bike up on that and put a car stand or jack under the front of the muffler.

I'm a carpenter and I would never suggest anybody support the weight of a bike from a ceiling joist down here.
What size joists do you guys use in the US?
We use 90x35 pine which is dry dressed 4x2".

Saw a great idea at the local bike shop I go to. They had a boat winch bolted to the wall and the strap from the winch went up through two rollers, one above the winch on the ceiling and the other above where you want to work on the bike. It will lift the whole bike if you want or just one end at a time. My mate and I did it at his place and it works a treat.

I am a General Contractor. In the US a floor or ceiling joist would be at least 2"x8" and in some cases 2"x10"- 2"x12" which can and does hold the 200 plus pounds just fine.

A floor joist would be fine of course :-)
What size are normal ceiling joists though?

Get the part number from Ron Ayers Motorsports - Motorcycle, ATV, Jet Ski and Generators Parts and Accessories and order it from ZANOTTI MOTOR CO. INC, Butler, PA 16001 - Motorcycle, ATV, Trikes, Golf Cars if you want to save a bunch over what your local 'stealer' will charge you!!
