I know guys stud their tracks right through the Quiet Pads without issue but I didn't like the way my studs were cocked off to the side with a piece of a Quiet Pad under the head so I made a cutting tool out of a stud. Started this process on my 2017 RTX-LE and have done several more since. Easy...

Exact same thing happened to me last winter. Pictures look the same. First time that I have ever been left stranded on a Yamaha....can't even blame it on Cat DNA....Yamaha clutches. I installed a new replacement bushing with Loctite and it started to move so I am going to try an Oilite bushing...

Like Shagnos asked......can anyone comment on the dimensions of the go-no-go gauge?

Hey Ben, hoping to meet the TD crew at the Toronto show. I have your EcoTrail flash and thinking about upgrading to your PowerTrail flash. Any chance you will bring / have the equipment to flash our ECU's right at the show?? Sure would save a bunch of time shipping etc.

I found 2 bolts in the belly pan while changing my oil for spring storage. Hunted everywhere and once I removed my exhaust it was apparent that they were from the turbo mount casting, nuts were totally gone. My turbo bolts were torqued before my first ride but I never checked casting mount...

My stock spring was GOLD/RED/GOLD but I am running Dalton adjustable weights. The spring I used required weights to be adjust as RPM was too high. Sounds like Jonlafon1 is recommending Yamaha''s YLW/GRN/YLW and Glide washers for stock Setup?? Maybe he could chime in??

Had the same problem. Primary spring is too tall. Try reading this thread.... http://ty4stroke.com/threads/sidewinder-what-to-do-about-clutch.147438/

Picture of new spring after a few hundred miles....all is good...

Update....I called Turbo Dynamics to see if they have noticed this problem. Ben was a great help and a wealth of knowledge!! He recommended a primary spring that is slightly shorter with larger diameter spring wire. I installed the recommended spring and was able to put a few hundred miles on...

Yes this is the stock primary spring.

I have the same vibration. I am running Turbo Dynamics EcoTrail package with Dalton Weights and Super Quiet muffler and Cat rollers on my RTX-LE. My symptoms became more apparent this weekend to the point where it was making a growl like a drive bearing was about to fail but the noise would come...
