IDS problem
I had the Ids installed by dealer about 5,000 miles ago. I just got back from 1,600 mile ride toDaytona and Key West. Jacked bike up to clean it and found that the back tire(wheel) will turn about a 1/4 round before the belt and sprocket start turning. It's like there is a lot of slack in the IDS system. Is this normal or has something gone wrong...Bldr

RE: IDS problem
IMHO, the IDS looks like it's made of potmetal, fit/finish is 3rd rate. I have one on my 08.
Jeez, why did they just copy the harmonic balancer design from GM....
Bet there will be a recall on these at some point.
Someone's going to make alot of money selling better quality IDS systems than MOCO has.
This the only part of the bike that scares the heck out of me...
