Hello,
Today I installed my pro-pipe and went riding. Because I love the roar from my exhaust I was riding like a dick.
When I took off from the intersection my bike started shaking and vibrating like the wheel was falling off, but it would settle down if I coasted with the clutch lever pulled in or if I cruised at low revs but came back if I rev'd it with the clutch in.
I've had a suspicion my clutch hub bearing was on it's way out so once i got home, after i finished being sad, I pulled the primary off.
Comp was still tight so I pulled off the clutch hub. Could this have caused the shaking and vibrations?
Thanks for any tips.

 

I would say, yes it likely did. While you are in there check everything over really well, and make sure those bearing fragments didn't take anything else out with them.

 

That will do it. When the splines went the clutch was no longer tight. It was just sliding back and forth on the mainshaft.

 

See that a lot. Usually not that bad. Mine has just corners gone. Is the spline what positions the clutch hub? When you see just corners gone, is that from the initial factory torque? I am not sure why flogging it would just take corners.
Flogging it will take the older style alternator rotor 10 spline out.
When I got one from dealer, he told me he still sells about 10 a year for the older style bikes.

You might want to make sure alternator rotor is not gone. It is like a flywheel. And compensator spring will drive it, so it can be hard to see it is loose. Compensator can still be tight. Check your rear drive pulley on your wheel also.
