Hi
I posted a couple of months ago about fault code 51 - cvt motor and I replaced the pulley position sensor which improved things but the problem remained
Bad weather work etc has prevented me investigating further until today when I started a final check around the bike before starting the full strip down to remove the engine to do a full cvt rebuild and I found ...... A very badly worn stopper bolt, very rounded and a groove cut into half the diameter!!
I now have a bolt on order and I hope this sorts the problem
I did not check the bolt earlier as it is a 2009 model and I thought this problem had already been sorted on previous models
I think I was only a few miles from catastrophe
If your transmission has a slight rattle ( they all do that sir) check the bolt even if it's post 2009
Ps total miles 27,000 commuting in London traffic
I have a photo of the bolt but cannot find a way to attach it to this post
Regards
Jeff
