Check your chain tension and also belt tension. The 3 adjustment bolts on the back of the secondary tend to use up, causing more tension on the belt, making it very hard to shift. I had to change those 3 bolts at around 7000 kms. Dealer had lots in stock so I'm assuming its a common problem on...

I've got brand new 2023 ZR200. Ran great the first 5 minutes, then kept bogging out when giving it more than 1/4 throttle. Opened the cab and found the air box lid was off. Looked for the bolt everywhere but couldn't find it. Put a new bolt in and runs like a charm. I've seen on other forums...

Just thought I would post how to fix this issue. I had very bad belt squeal at idle and it was very hard to shift from any gear. I replaced the 3 bolts for belt tension on the back of the secondary clutch. They were used about 1/8" and my belt tension was way too tight. No more belt squeal and...

I haven't done the jackshaft bearing yet. I plan on doing the chain and all the bearings in the chaincase this fall.
