This noise has been there since the first mile and it is only in high gear, and it varies with the throttle movement. It also has the typical whine in park and neutral, and it also lurches forward or in reverse when either gear is selected. I jacked it up last night and spun the wheels up and poked around with my stethoscope and I hear the noise in the tranny but it could be resonating through from the secondary clutch. Now I hear no difference in the noise in high or low gear while listening to the tranny, which is weird because its very noticeable difference when actually riding the machine.
The machine shifted like crap when I got it and I found the shift linkage out of adjustment and got that fixed, although it still seems a little sticky when shifting through the gears. I think this could be related to the one way dragging too heavy?
Now I’m comparing these noises to my 2013 1k XT which is quiet as can be and shifts like butter. No clutch noise at all. My buddies 2013 XT-P 1K is quiet too.
My question is, where do I start here? I have a gates belt I could throw on and try? Should I replace my one way bearings to get rid of the hard shift and lurch? Im ok with the noise I guess if its the secondary, but if its tranny related I want it fixed. I want to try all the basics first before I consider a trip to the dealer.
