flat spot on driven roller


Yamaha is aware of the problem and are coming out with a replacement roller. No ETA yet. I have a set of Hi-torque rollers on the way to try.

I think the hi-torque rollers have met with mixed reviews on dootalk.
Can't remember all the hubbub.......

they don't work with cudney's helix because it only rides on a small part of the roller. Otherwise they work great. Have used them in all of my 1200's.

Probably so.....I used stock ones on my 800. Again, I let what I was reading, turn me off to hi-torque's. But in this situation, we believe the stock ones to be the problem. Lol! Not a ton of options.
 
Went and checked my rollers and no ware at all .feeling good about that.
 
I'll wait till tomorrow to scope it out. be like a Christmas surprise.......
 
112 miles, flat spots on rollers. never beat it even a smidgen. put the nordlocks on turbo, filled gear case to half, filled oil to half, tightened all clamps, belt looks ok, coolant ok but a little white spotting in the fill area splattered, up and out, not down, will watch there, cracked look at shield is where two parts are joined, maybe eventually cracking there? have to go back to that thread....oh yeah, had air cleaner off too, big puddle of that thick oil in intake tube.

don't dare want to breathe a word of any of this stuff to my doo crew, especially now that they are gettin 850s after my purchase. i'll never hear the end. my riding has been all easy break in riding on packed dirt roads. dealer is 60 miles away in another state.

Too late for that. We have double agents amongst us. They have a small list of isolated occurrences they've. Complied. They make a mountain out of a mole hill. If one does something wrong, it's the whole entire Yamaha lineup going down.
Take time out they have a thread "850 issues"

Lost motors, melting coolant bottles and poor wiring issues, along with fires and no brake lights, to name a few.

Maybe I wasn't clear. All those things I listed are 850 issues.

If Yamaha has a flat spot on one bushing, "the clutches are junk!" They all grab their spears and start chanting!
