Well with your previous "experience" I would think a look inside sure wouldn't hurt, ease any ill thoughts.

Just be careful pushing that big bearing out, not that I have any special "experience" with that

Amen to that.  One of the brethren here borrowed the tranny tools late winter and that crossed my mind again.  Really can't see an open tranny case without it being a quick thought.  That was ugly with a capital U.

My own anal nature on service of primary systems will make me take a look at this tranny.  But it's good to get trustworthy report from the likes of you and Van that these gear boxes can do that as I didn't think they could hop between gears up there.  Appreciate you guys' input.

It is said that there are a few people from NC that are well known for stirring the pot......me not being one of them......

first.... since you changed pipes, cams, breather, cc's.....etc....you just had to mess with STOCK didn't you you had to change to a 6 speed to keep up with that powerful motor

second....you installed that trailer hitch which put unnecessary strain on your drive train causing premature gear case failure...........good thing you are not still in warranty because the MOCO would not cover this failure

third....if you had left it stock......well never mind.....you don't listen to those NC boys anyway



look at the shifter drum and forks which when worn a little will induce what you are describing

Don,

I've had it happen to my cherry and I've seen it on several other bikes as well.  Each time it's been the splines on the clutch basket have sheared off.  The clutch basket spins but the transmission primary shaft just sits there.  Jim's fix has been to change to the Pro Clutch which replaces the HD basket set up.

Thanks Ernie.  I've had splines go on a clutch basket before also.  And have fixed a couple other bikes after it has happened.  If this one hadn't rode home 20 miles like nothing had happened that was thought #2 after the assumption of a broken belt.  The basket will still get a close look when I check things out.

I guess I should have read your post more closely.  Didn't see the 20 mile ride afterward.

It'll be nice to know what you find out Don.   You don't need this much "experience".    I just think your girls get jealous and want some time on the lift.

Where this is coming from makes it even funnier

There's never a bad idea when considering options.  I, of course, never actually ride more than 45 mph and accelerate only slowly.  So clutch baskets should never be a problem on my bikes.... 

[110tHunDer]

Absolutely.  Road Glide to the rescue.  At a little stand about an hour away on Grand Lake.  Most excellent.

Have I had those before?

[Twolanerider]

No way.  Yours were definitely not lake side taco stand tacos.  Yours come from a fine local establishment called Taco Gringos .

Air filter should be fine also!
Unless you run into a Taco cloud.
