I'm looking for someone with a good understanding of 1500 wings. I am trying to help a friend with a wing that is making horrible gear clashing sounds. Using a stethascope, it sound like it is coming from the front of the engine. Bike starts and runs fine, everything works including reverse and charging system. Quiet at idle or reving in neutral. Under power, decel in low or second gear, it sounds like 2 gears trying to mesh ( very loud ). Not final drive, no skipping like tranny gears or final drive gears skipping, just a loud noise. It will do this under accel, but more easily produced on decel, lower gears more evident than upper gears. Any thoughts? Hate to pull the motor and just start blindly digging around.

Looking for some help. Experiencing a fifth gear clunking noise. Used to happen on occasion now happens frequently. I’m thinking it has to do with the final drive. Does anybody have any advice or links...11-06-2020, 06:10 PM -

I saw dark fluid on the right side of the rear tire after coming back from a ride. Further investigation revealed it was dripping from the weep hole at the bottom of the final drive. Never had that before....08-21-2017, 04:12 PM -
What are the symptoms of a final drive failing? How much play should the rear wheel have when you have it on the center stand and in gear (how far should the wheel rotate)? I have a take off on hand...09-15-2015, 05:41 AM
