    Symptoms of a worn out primary clutch ?

    I put it on a stand and the clutches seem to work fine but that's not under load. Cleaned and lubed the clutches with silicone lube and let it dry. Still the same when I test drove it . Hmmm ??

    Symptoms of a worn out primary clutch ?

    The carbs were cleaned over the summer. No adjustment were made other than setting the pilot jets back to spec . Two turns out. I was wondering if that was correct . The service manual says two turns out.

    09 Vector RS Rear Suspension problems

    Sorry for the very late reply. I'm still learning how to navigate this site. I took it to Shock Tec. It cost me more because the shock shaft was chipped so Frank had to replace the shaft with a generic one. My dial adjustment doesn't work anymore but Frank assured me I really don't need it...

    Bad starter, got to pull engine

    I was able to finally get my starter motor out of my 2009 Vector . What a pain but with the info on this forum it was easier. So the starter smells like burnt wires . When I opened it up it was full of oil ! It looks like the seal on the starter shaft was worn out. Does that make any sense to...

    09 Vector RS Rear Suspension problems

    Ok thanks , I'll give them a call. Where do I get the adjuster cable ? Should I go to the dealer ? Are they better quality there? I see Royal Distributing has them but I'm concerned about the quality form them.

    Thank You fixerman519. I checked the cable this morning and yes it broken. I'm thinking it needs to be rebuilt to. Did you mail the shock to Shock Tec ? How long did it take ? Thanks again . Mark

    09 Vector RS Rear Suspension problems

    So I just bought a used Vector with 8000 kms on it, second owner. In really good shape. On my first trail ride I noticed the suspension would rebound really hard and hit me in the #*$&@ ! Sometimes throwing me up off the seat. It's actually not very safe to ride. The downward travel seems to work...
