Hey all, I got home from an hour rip on the new FXR and as I'm pushing it into the garage in neutral I hear this (what sounds to me) nasty noise. Here's a video of me pushing it back and forth.


What's going on here? Do I have a reason to worry?

Thanks, guys.

 

I would definitely open it up and take a look before riding again!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nothing should be turning in your primary just pushing in neutral. Sounds like your chain wallet going against your bike, j/k .What year bike ?is it chain driven? Could be sprocket related. Sprocket and tranny is moving while pushing.
Also, was you pulling in the clutch while pushing it ???

 

It's a belt driven 91. Gonna take another look after I eat. It's raining tomorrow so I'll open it up then if I have to.

 

Just guessing...adjuster came loose, or shoe came apart? either way need to open up and take a look.

 

Post what you find out.

 

Sound like chain dragging on the case, bet adjuster shot also

 

I would do a high-polish job on that side cover while you have it off.

 

This.

That sounds pretty ugly on the video.

 

I'd check the belt guard/belt for rubbing. Possibly the brake caliper, but I doubt it.
