transmission or belt ?

[outlander560]

low gear is more torque... but i dont know wat u r asking? wat is it doing wen in high gear

[Stoopidbot1]

First off, welcome back to the site. Second, am I correct that there is only one belt, or is there one belt for high and one for low. If there is one for both I would say it's your tranny. Not familiar with that set up, just trying to help.

[outlander560]

i know that their is one belt but that i can answer.... does the belt slip? does it make wierd noises? or does it just power down in high gear wen pulling?

[gpenberthy]

low gear is more torque... but i dont know wat u r asking? wat is it doing wen in high gear

When in high it just sits there and wont move. Engine runs fine. no problems with the spark plug. Dont know if it has one or 2 belts

[outlander560]

it does have one belt... did u buy it used or new?... is it hard to switch gears? how long has it been since it since it went to the shop?

[gpenberthy]

I bought it new. We went riding and everything was fine. Took it out again a month later. Took it off the trailer and rode down a hill. Tried to come back up the hill and it wouldnt pull up the hill. The bike has been serviced only once because I drive it very little.

I'm guessing it is your tranny or more specific the gear inside that engages your high gear. When you have it in high and rev it, what does it do?

[outlander560]

i had a similar problem that my dealer told me the reason... wen u switch from neutral to high there is a fork that in gauges the gear. if i remember correctly.. and it just might not be in gauging until u hit low... the same problem happened because my rpms were to high so i couldn't get it in gear.... i don't think it is as serious as ur transmission being bad i think it just might need some adjusting..

[Stoopidbot1]

I always like to think it's the worse case possible. That way, it's usually not as bad as I thought.

[outlander560]

yea i do that a lot... but my luck its probably worse

[Stoopidbot1]

I hear ya, like our Rhino. I was thinking A arms and ball joints and that stuff. But no, bent frame.

[outlander560]

yea i know wat ur talking about mines not as bad but i had a problem with the starter on my can-am thought it was a loose wire turns out it needs a whole new starter

Did it fall off at the head? or at the silencer? The head being the part that directly bolts to the motor. The silencer is the part under your rear fender.

at the silencer, i didnt notice it so it squised the gasket and the whoole thing almost fell off, we had to make a gasket so my dad made one out of a gasket from his car, now we should get a real gasket, it came without one when we bought it. (wonder why:mad:)

[Stoopidbot1]

There is no gasket between the head pipe and the mid pipe. The mid pipe is the piece that comes off the silencer. It should just overlap the head pipe. Usually held on by springs or some kind of clamp.

[SunLrider]

no the bolt that held the silencer on fell off so i was hanging with the whole pipe which loosened the head up and so we need a new gasket

[Stoopidbot1]

I get it! That sucks. Make sure the bolt that came out of the mount has a grommet around it. This will reduce vibration. Any bolt you put back on, use the blue lock tight on the threads.

[SunLrider]

we put the muffler back on and we put a lock washer, two lock nuts on to keep the first one from backing off and we put lock tight on the threads so i think were good

That's exactly what I meant by grommet.

Sorry!!!! I Skimmed through the Thread and posted......

It will NEVER happen again:laugh:

[Stoopidbot1]

Easy there old man. I was making sure the kids knew what a grommet is. We know you and I can do some jimmy rigging. I actually fixed my exhaust pipe in the middle of the Mexican desert with a hack saw and a piece of chain link fence. The metal tube frame, not the links.

thats pretty caveman:laugh:

[Stoopidbot1]

I had a major case of back pressure or something, I blew my mid pipe out. It split right down the middle. So we cut the fence apart at the top where the vertical bar does a 90 degree turn to become the horizontal bar. It got me back with out going deaf.

[mywifeknowseverythin]

This was 2 yrs ago and for the life of me I cant remember how we Rigged it.....I know we were Drinking,,,,,,And to this day it has held.....I do know this.....It was an Episode out of Mcgiver:laugh:

[outlander560]

did u use duct tape??

[Stoopidbot1]

I hear ya, We had to cut the end of the pipe so we could stretch it over the header pipe and the silencer.

No Duct tape. Hose clamps.

[Stoopidbot1]

In a big trash pile in the middle of Mexico. I rode it to a bar with it screaming so loud my ears I thought were gonna bleed. The trash heap was behind the bar. We found everything.
