This is the second time I've tested this, did it first on my 800. With the belt off the machine I tried shifting it. No difference, still have to hump it. If it don't shift any better without the belt, how in the world is it going to shift better with new bearings?
I'd be happy to eat my words but this makes no freaking sense.
dude, why do you think i would post something if it hadn't worked wonders for me, as well as a few others? like i really want a bunch of guys to spend $30-$40 and an hour of their time and then be p%$#ed off at me? i don't understand what trying to shift without the belt has to do with anything.
i changed to a synthetic chaincase oil at 10 hrs.
nothing.
i drained a couple oz. and put in the schaeffers moly e.p.
nothing.
i tore down the primary, cleaned it and re-lubed with isoflex.
nothing.
2 new bearings and it shifts like butter. i don't understand why this bothers you? maybe it's time to start using an oem belt? i haven't heard anything good about the daycos - you get what you pay for. jury is still out on the epi severe duty, as far as i know. when these guys get their bearings and do the swap, then maybe you'll believe it.
