Marcel Posted Wednesday at 14:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:50 Doing some maintenance on the indian this morning, we're doing a day ride Friday..700km roughly...belt tension , the works..just one more thing to do..clutch lever inspection and lube.. Notice and awful slop in the rear suspension...coming from the famous suspension pin...needle bearing are fine...pin is loose in the frame section...been hearing the odd cluck at time in the rear...Ill check with the dealer what they say...imagine they will say its normal...I know they allow a tolerance... Arrow motocycles from the land down under has a fix...has a wedge style pin...and it looks like it does the trick... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Removing the tire this morning....rear pulley bearing is kinda rough...checked on the part website...looks like its not serviceable...comes with the pulley...I can read the # off the bearing and could find one at the bearing shop...had a go trying to remove it...with a Harley wheel bearing Remover..doesn't really fitt...Jerry rigged something together....but stopped before damaging anything...thinking of pulling off the seal and re-pack with grease...but with that sturgis ride ...im a little concerned it might fail..

This is one of many reason I hate dealing with dealers...managed to talk to them this morning...have to bring the bike in...they have a look...submit a claim to indian...if approved...order the part and then have it installed...bike is going out of commission for minimum a month...can't I just bring you the pulley and have your tec look at it...Nope...
