Question how can you ride with the cvt cover off . I tried to start mine once with the cvt cover off it started fine and ran for a few seconds then the starter gear fell out . Quickly shut it off and all was ok no teeth hurt just a few scratches on the started gear outer bushing cover . If you have a kickstarter, take the cover off and bendix out first, then put the cover back on and kickstart it, then take cover off. |

With CVT cover off I put my finger on the end of the bendix and hit the starter. and, no, I didn't hear any noise out of the clutch or variator areas. as for riding with the CVT cover off I wouldn't advise it.
Besides, I didn't need the engine on anyway. You can hear it only at a walking speed or slower.
Thanx for the thought, though now I know it's not the Tq spring binding.

Darren You said you only heard the noise when there is a load on the scooter. Yes you can put your finger on the bendix and start it with the cover off-- but with the cover off and the bendix still in, it's much, much harder to have a load on the scoot and go while your finger is still on, or without something holding the bendix after it's started. As for riding without the cover on, it shouldn't hurt to go 30 feet one way and back--- unless you're overly worried about a pebble or two getting inside the case. I wouldn't recommend riding very far without the cover on, but during troubleshooting like this, I'd take the risk for a very, very short trip with it off---if I couldn't determine where the sound was coming from. |

Ok, this is all getting off point a little. NOTE: ENGINE OFF, CLUCK/CLICK/POP/PIT/TICK/TACK HOW EVER YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THE NOISE. ENGINE OFF ONLY WHEN SITTING ON BIKE. ENGINE OFF ROLLING EITHER DIRECTION. ENGINE OFF LEANING BIKE TO THE RIGHT MORE NOISE ENGINE OFF LEANING LEFT LESS NOISE ENGINE OFF You won't be able to hear it with the engine on and riding with a "rev up" to have load on the eng. Even if I didn't drill the two holes on the muffler "stock" you still wouldn't hear it. Engine has got to be off when listening for it. And, also. when warmed up, "ENGINE OFF", just after a ride, you can hear 3-5 pops rolling backwards and 2-3 rolling forward. P.S. I sometimes don't explain things right. You know, forget to write some thing, that could/couldn't be the factor. So forgive me if I leave some thing out. Then too, if 500 people read the same book and only 200 liked it. But, out of that 200 that liked it all have a different outlook of the story. Same book, different version. |

don't just write what ever, read this first people and understand the term "ENGINE OFF" and popping in the rear-end!
