Holy chit, Don... I don't know the answer to your question....but WTF?? I don't think I have ever heard of that happening... What exactly happened?
I feel bummed for you.....sorry...
It's ugly Scott. Was lazily crusing along a country road in fourth gear. Watching fields and clouds. It screeched for about a heartbeat then just locked up.
Flat spotted the back tire. Belt didn't break. But it couldn't have been helped by the process.
Fortunately kept the bike upright. But god what a noise it made. Something just broke in the tranny.
Was no hint or forewarning. Didn't make a peep or feel at all untoward back and forth to York. It just broke.
Gear box has approximately 20k miles on it. But that's irrelevant to sudden failure of course.
The damn thing just broke. And lord what a noise it makes. Sounds like rocks in a garbage disposal. Pulled the drain plug when I got it back in the garage. There was an inch tall mountain of debris stuck to the magnet. One can only imagine how much more is loose inside the gear box.
Crap.
