Hey Everyone, I was out riding about 50 miles from home when bike started making loud noise like a bearing going. It was real loud by the time I got it home. Shut it off and when I come out to check what went wrong, I see a puddle of tranny fluid (I use a red fluid) on the floor. I track it down as leaking from the Mainshaft seal on the primary chaincase. I pulled the Primary apart and all indications point to the seal on the primary leaking, but I cant figure out how the tranny fluid is leaking from that seal. I also found the splines on the clutch hub were all ground up, unusable (mainshaft splines are ok) and the bearing was gone. I replaced the clutch, shaft bearing and seal, put it back together. Tranny still has a loud whine only when the clutch is out. If I pull the clutch in the whine goes away. Put it in gear, no whine. let out the clutch and it whines. Hour later a big puddle of tranny fluid on the floor leaking from the primary. And no, the transmission is not overfilled.
I am guessing the whine must be a bearing gone in the tranny itself but the fluid still baffles me. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks , Mike
