So I blew a stator, upgraded the stator and r/r. Now what used to be an excellent ride seems wrong somehow. It seems like she vibrates more. Is it all in my head? The other thing I noticed today was a KLAK as I rolled it into storage and grabbed the break.I can't see the isolator myself is it supposed to be that loud or is it gone. I just want my ride back. | ||

Well, changing the stator requires you to disassemble and reassemble the primary. Part of the reassembly process is adjusting the primary chain. A poorly adjusted primary chain (too loose) can cause excessive vibration. I'd start by checking the primary chain adjustment. | ||

What torque did you use to tighten the crank nut? There was some wrong information in some of the older service manuals. | ||

Reep-I think it was 155-200 ft/lbs if I remember right. Hugh It was shifting rough so I checked the chain and it was loose, so I did an adjustment and have yet to ride. You may be on to something. I really only notice at Idle and my hands shake more than I remember them shaking. Could all be in my head too. | ||

That toque sounds right... close to 200 ft lbs. Otherwise the stator bell can get loose which could *maybe* sort of explain your symptoms. So unless you have doubts about the torque, that probably isn't the problem. It was foot pounds, not inch pounds, right? Pretty much taking a 2 foot breaker bar and cranking on that sucker until veins start to burst... | ||

The crankshaft nut torque change applies only to 06/07 Ulys. The torque requirement went up from something like 195-205 to 245-255 ft-lbs. The 08-up bikes (like his 09) use a stretch bolt (one time use) and a lower torque figure. |
