Re: Transmission grinding going into first gear

Joe, I checked with Marty(Superxparts.com) to see if Jamie might have done your
trany. Jamie did do #437 & #438 but not #436. You could check with John Jones to
see if he has any record of doing it. The oil in the crankcase is where the
trany gets its lube. A good full synthetic oil is advised. Good Luck. Van

Check the engine oil since it's all the same oil. Run it at the second X. Make sure you understand how to check the oil.. Jumper...

Van, Thanks for all your effort, that was very nice of you. I'll probably change the oil as you suggested with a good full synthetic oil and see if that helps....

If it has only got that many miles you had better not run synthetic til it is broke in. Some amount of some is quite normal, especially if it is not warm up....

Hi Doug, The motor wasn't warmed up so maybe that didn't help. Bobby worked on the bike last July but didn't do the trans at least not then. I spoke to him and...
