Went riding today
Having a blast
Kept on hearing something...
Kind of a whirring sound...
Pinned it down to only happening in second gear
1st is fine 3rd on up is fine
2nd sounds like a fuggin truck in 4 Low
Fug fug fug!

Maybe an output bearing in the tranny just behind the countershaft sprocket? Second gear is right next to this bearing.

Thanks Ron
Probably messed it up when my water-pump seal went last summer
Wonder if something you can only get from Kawi or if a bearing supplier would have one?

Hope you are right Ron
Just talked to a mechanic, he thinks it sounds like a gear from what I told him

Got as much apart as I can until I can get the cases split apart
Output shaft spins nice and smooth
Input shaft is kinda noisy and not as smooth

Remember Brad's buddy I ran into?
He's got a case splitter to let me use!!
I posted that I needed one on Facebook and he answered, said he'd take it with him when he goes riding in the morning and I can come by and get it!

I suppose you're planning to change the crank bearings and seals while you're in there? When my kid blew up his YZ I found all the tranny bearings felt a little rough and one of them was really bad. I swapped all of them and the shift stop gizmo which had broken.

Gotter split...
Used a friends homemade splitter. Took a few beers to figure out a plan to make it work
Needle bearing got kinda ugly

Guess I need to seal up my left cover better

Looks to me like you need to send them off to Slick Nick so he can "clean them up" for ya.
So it was making a whirring noise huh? I wonder if a sasquatch can differentiate between whirring and grinding.
Those geary parts are spendy, hopefully you don't need too many.

Ouch,
It took out the main shaft too.... I was hoping it was the other bearing just next to it. Second gear looks ok from what I can see of it.

What are you using in your trans?
Astroglide?

Got a used tranny coming, hopefully it's in better shape
Too bad it wasn't the other shaft, as I believe they are the same in E's and H's
No grindy sounds
Shoot after I got it home I ran it on the stand and everything sounded fine
You could only hear the gear drive sound in second gear and under a load
Any other gear it sounded normal

Oil actually looked great when I drained it, except for all the little sparklies in it
