Author Message   Pogue_mahone Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 02:07 am:        2003 xb9s squeaks i have determined it is in the clutch or pulley.when at speed and i hold or let off throttle, it squeaks.when i pull in the clutch squeak stops. what i know my primary drive lube is about halfway thru its life. i lubed the cable end and the cable housing itself and that made the whole thing work better.did that last summer. i welcome useful suggestions LOL thanks BadWebbers!! scott   Gunut75 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 09:53 am:        Pogue, did you not tell er' you were gonna ride er' hard.   Pogue_mahone Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 01:26 pm:        hahahahahahaha she is like one of those bdsm girlfriends.she likes to be rode hard and whipped on :P   Gunut75 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 06:52 pm:        sweeeeeeet!   Luxor Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 08:47 pm:        Pogue, let the bike run in neutral until the fan comes on. If it still squeaks in neutral the clutch needs an adjustment and possible replacement. I went through this a couple years ago and a new Barrett clutch fixed it.   Pogue_mahone Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 10:08 pm:        lux--it doesnt squeak at idle--did yours?   Luxor Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 10:49 pm:        Yep, mine would squeak after the bike got hot. It would only stop if I pulled the clutch in. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.   Pogue_mahone Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 - 12:33 am:        i have a hell of a time finding neutral.another symptom of mis adjusted clutch?   Luxor Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 - 02:16 am:        Yes, could be. Another thing to look at is how it shifts hot. If it's more difficult when hot it needs to be adjusted.   Aptbldr Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 - 08:31 am:        Clutch adjustment: inside primary. Clutch lever free-play: clutch cable below steering head.   Pogue_mahone Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 - 01:48 pm:        thanks when hot hard to catch N otherwise shifts fine. maybe i need to check primary belt and do clutch adjustments.
