#493868 RSTAR99 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 224 Maybe the front pulley is loose???? 1 Year ago   Ok, so I have this vibration that is there when going 50-75 mph. If I pull in the clutch, it goes away. I went to check to see if the front pulley is loose but I can't get the two round allen bolts out. They do have to be removed in order to get the cover off, right?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #493891 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Also you can use an allen socket and whack it with a hammer to brake things loose.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #493895 RSTAR99 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 224 Re:Maybe the front pulley is loose???? 1 Year ago   Heat gun eh?? I can borrow one from work and give it a shot. As far as the allen goes, its starting to strip out. Are these normally this tight?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #493896 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 6903 Re:Maybe the front pulley is loose???? 1 Year ago   think wouldnt think its supposed to be that tight. I took mine off for the first time 5 years after I bought it, they came right out. I wonder if someone had it off at one time and put loc-tite on the bolts.   Logged     ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #494053 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it ..

Are these normally this tight? i have taken them off both bikes and they were tight but not unreasonably tight like yours..blackroadie is right.. someone might have been in there before you..again,use a hammer and smack the bolt straight on... hard.. with and without the heat...   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/22 06:41 By nightstar57.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #499666 dshingler (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:Maybe the front pulley is loose???? 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Did you ever get the vibration figured out? I just put mine back together including a rejet and now have a vibration I didn't remember. As I was researching I saw your post.   Logged     Dan 2003 Road Star Silver Edition 1998 V-Star 650 1981 XS650 1975 XS500   The administrator has disabled public write access.
