Hello everyone,
Had my Burgman for a few months now, and according to the trusty Haynes Manual she's overdue a CVT cooling fan air filter clean. So today I proceeded to remove the relevant screws to take off the filter cover, to find..... an empty space where the air filter should be! I could see straight through to the 'fan blades' inside the CVT.
After closer inspection it appears some muppet of a previous owner has somehow sheared off the metal bits which the air filter is supposed to screw into, and just put it back together without a filter in place. I've had the bike since August so it's definitely been like it since then, not sure how much longer it's been on top of that.
As I've only had it a few months I'm pursuing the dealer for them to repair it (or even refund if it's too much to repair), seeing as how it would have been like this since I had it (the filter isn't just going to disappear into thin air with a few months worth of riding).
My question is - what should need repairing?
It appears moisture has got inside the CVT as the end of the crankshaft and the nut are incredibly rusty. I'll do a picture tomorrow if it'll help, but will they need to replace the crankshaft if that end is very rusted?
I couldn't get the CVT cover off to inspect the damage inside (as the bottom left corner just wouldn't budge) and as I need the bike in the morning I had to just put it all back on, but I plan to try again though as I suspect there's going to be all kinds of crap that's got inside... will I potentially need a new belt? Will the clutch also need some work? Anything else that'll need some attention?
I know this is a bit of a big ask without any photos or anything (which I'll try to provide tomorrow or Saturday) but I'm hoping one of you will know more about what's going to be wrong than I will!
Thanks!
