Tightening up the compensator's rotational play helps the noise issue and the very, very minor herky jerky! Shim to a snug slip fit. Enjoy! mm    | ||

what are those shims from? how well and how are they secured in the way you installed them? maybe that would help the horrable drive line slack my bike has always had when going on or off the throttle. i still think most of my problem has to do with to much gear to gear play inside the transmission or something. you would think it was REALLY in need of a primary chain adjustment if it wasnt for the fact that it doesnt have one. | ||

I feel the same thing - lots of driveline slack at lower RPMs... When I rev her a little more it gets a lot better. | ||

Look in the last pic...they are behind the round cushioned portion...totally trapped once assembled. Use what ever thickness is needed...this one took .060"...flexable phenolic sheet stock...but anything slightly harder than the cushion themselves, should do. I would stay away from metal tho. A snug slip together fit w/no back lash between the two parts is what quiets it down. The cushions need to be broke from each other to allow this...usually happens when you remove them anyways. Just leave one intact until you do the rest so as not to mistake orientation. There is a little bit of reverse torque moments within this engine. The latest flash all but eliminates it's perception. This (ONE, as there is others inside!) noise was traced with a mechanic's stethoscope while running unloaded, in gear. mm | ||

i saw they were slipped in between the bushing and the casing, but i have not had that apart so wasnt sure how well the would be held in place if they were just slipped in between the rubber and the metal. so basically your saying this helps it not sound so much like a ducati with a dry clutch at idle lol | ||

Excuse my feeble mind here, but I can't grasp why it's ok to brake them apart. Seems to me they were connected for some purpose? | ||

They are connected by a small tie in the mold mainly for orientation on the assembly line, IMO. Similar in our throttle bodies previous issues...closing the wide tolerances, HELPS. There is still A LOT of noise & play within the final drive's assembly (I'll be splitting the cases after the riding season is over!) but this little mod "helped" in a positive way. Back to work, much more to come! mm (Message edited by slypiranna on October 14, 2008) | ||

Tied together to ease and speed up assembly on the assembly line would be my assumption. JJ |
