Sudden noise, chirping, & vibration from RHSide engine - anyone else? Ideas?

[JP58]

Well got the engine out and transmission off the engine. Not a job for the light wrenchers. It really was a bitch getting it out. BRP engineering need to think about their techs. Anyway, I just took pictures - see below. There is no way to do a step by step. You have to just wing it. But you do need to take the left passenger foot mount assembly off to get it out; also unbolt the gas tank and lift it up about 6 inches or so. Oh, also destroyed my recalled front pully. BRP had the techs Locktite it on with some white color crap. You won't be able to ever get these off without ruining them! Bad BRP.! Out another 130 bucks.

My hat comes off to you!! That is a deeper dive than I would reach for!:bowdown:

You are a certified WILDMAN!

Now for the 'FIX'!

Well got it all back together. Rides and shifts great no more noisy bearing or chirping clutch. The input shaft to the clutch drum was moving around causing the clutch to chirp. Of course the transmission fault light is on and needs to be zero-ed out with BUDS like the repair manual said would need to be done. Found someone near me who has BUDS. Going over to his place tomorrow.

Wow. You have boldly gone where few dare to tread and successfully completed the mission.

What a great read and well done Sir. :clap:

I found someone with the BUDS II from my SOAR riding group. He reset the Transmission sensor and cleared the code. Rode it about 200 miles. All is good. One happy camper here.

My hats off to you Sir for tackling this job. Well done. :congrats:

I could do that. You have the new RT now right?

I do ... Bought a new, left over 2022 RT S2S last fall. Sold my F3S to an individual from Chicago. I'll be ordering a belt isolator soon. We'll be in touch.

Of course the transmission fault light is on and needs to be 0 out with buds like the repair manual said would need to be done. Found someone near me that has buds. Going over to his place tomorrow.

I am almost speechless. Job well done and appreciate you sharing with us. Just wished you lived in South Carolina. Best wishes.

I see you ride in the SOAR group. Saw your post about the transmission shaft bearing. Nice job. I bought my Spyder from Ron’s Performance. Small world. I just bought BUDS if you ever need it again but I’m 2.5 hours from you. I am going to reset my TCM learning as sometimes my shifts kinda nose dive between shits (erratic). Other times it’s spot on like a light switch. The service manual suggests resetting the TCM. Did you do anything special to relearn the shifts? Thanks again.

A local guy who had BUDS reset or zeroed out the transmission sensor. All is good. I moved about 2 hours NorthWest of Rob's Performance, so do not do the monthly rides anymore.

Maybe I missed it. But what did you replace, repair, to cure the chirp?

I believe it was the cage on the trans shaft bearing that broke…

 

[JP58]

Input shaft bearing was bad causing the chirping. The input shaft was moving side to side, causing the clutch pack to slip.
