Hi Wildguzzi,Looking for some of your opinions here The first incident... the clutch couldn't disengage the gears and go into neutral. The second issue.. The starter stopped working. Was replaced under warranty no problems. Third event... this grinding noise I noticed on idle.
it should be possible to adjust the clutch on the leaver, under the rubber, very easy no tools required, couple of minutes. its normal to have to adjust quite regularly.
Is that your experience? Man that would scare me.
I adjusted mine when the bike was new. The dealer had not done it. Probably hadn't even road tested it prior to me hauling it home. Now, at 2500 miles, it needs a little adjustment. A little too much freeplay on the lever.No biggie. Takes a couple minutes to accomplish.
I'm just thinking back through all the bikes I've owned. The only ones with cables that I adjusted regularly were my Harleys, and I just did that because it was a 2 step process which involved taking the cable out of adjustment, resetting the clutch assembly ramp screw, then adjusting the cable again when you were done. But come to think of it, I don't recall the lever being noticeably out of play when I started those procedures either - whether it was 5k, 35k, 65k miles.I do think the OEM spec for freeplay is a little off on the smallblocks, and as I said, I had to adjust mine right away (and other demo bikes I've ridden from that and other dealers). I know it's dead simple and only takes a few seconds.But again, unless your cable is constantly stretching by > 1mm over a couple of thousand miles, or WORSE the clutch disc is wearing by that amount, you shouldn't HAVE TO CHANGE THAT SETTING SO OFTEN. Which is really the only thing I'm questioning.
They say that when I come in we can talk about replacing parts on the exhaust under warranty that were discolored due to the initial overheating.
Went for beautiful ride this am up and around the mountains. Was running great and had a great morning.
....It says "class 3" on the display and turns off when i hit the ignition switch....
Yep, lush green scenery with mountain roads are not far from the grid of nyc It was a great ride. Fortunately some fellow bikers saved my butt from that tow and reset something in the computer by momentarily unhooking the battery.
Could you please elaborate? I wasn't aware that the '15 V7 has any on-board diagnostics other than the check engine light.
It was something that appeared temporarily after turning the keys... Then it would go to its regular screen showing the odometer. Wish i could elaborate more but idk what it means. Maybe ill ask the dealer cause something is still funky. Started this morning and then she stalled again... And again.
Yeah, and there's no reason that a new starter should require a hit/kick. Either there's something wrong with the starter, or really jolting one of the battery cables allowing a connection that was just not quite right to connect enough to start the bike.
