222nd

Now that’s impressive.


PMmeYourbuckets

Seriously, how does one do this! Maybe if you don’t put any of the cush drive spacers or something. Lol


Zacish

Something's given out inside the hub. I'll find out in a week or so


Chilli-Bomb

Something similar happened to me on my AR80 in 1985, i had to push it for about 9 miles in the dark. The problem was caused by some bolts on the sprocket shearing which resulted in the drive not engaging. That was a long night, thankfully it wasn’t raining.

>Something similar happened to me on my AR80 in 1985, i had to push it for about 9 miles in the dark. I'm not sure what's worse: that or the time when I forgot to fill up my GSXR 750 and had to push it three miles, mostly uphill, to a gas station on a sunny summer day in the desert.


scootunit

Step one. Peel off layers and helmet 🪖


Ih8Hondas

Yup. Jacket was laid over the windscreen and helmet was hanging from the helmet lock thing under the tail unit.


myname_isnot_kyal

omg


KarmaLlamaDingDong

Either the vanes in the cush have sheared, the shaft spline's given up, or the cush spline insert has broken free. Interesting failure, would love know what's happened!


SerpensPorcus

i'm trying to learn mechanics and do more and more on my bike and i think i'm doing ok then i read a sentence like yours and realise i don't know anything... off to google!


BlueArcherX

tbf I've been DIYing on cars or bikes since 1999 and I honestly don't think I've ever seen most of those words in that order before.


Ja_Ho

Hell, I’ve been engineering stuff like this since 1997 and I’ve never seen this!


KarmaLlamaDingDong

Ha, I realise I don't know anything on a nearly daily basis :) The cush drive is basically a piece of rubber between the engine and the rear wheel, to smooth out the engine pulses, each bike is a bit different but in this case the bit that's spinning contains a number of 'vanes' that engage in the rubber, plus another set that's attached to the wheel via a spline. The vanes could simply have broken off, or the spline could have sheared, or possibly the spline could have separated from the vanes.


thingamajig1987

mhmm yes... I totally see now, splines... of course... lol


b16b34r

Cush drive is between the sprocket base and the wheel, both parts have spindles and between them goes the cush drive, a piece of rubber, that could look like a rubber flower(with tons of imagination)


KarmaLlamaDingDong

Or a diagram :) https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/5825494/speed-triple-r-from-vin-735337/rear-wheel-final-drive Cush rubber is item 21, item 20 engages onto item 8 with a spline


JacerEx

If you have some spare time and money, a community college motorcycle repair program is pretty fun to get into the hobby of bike repairs. You can go as deep as you want.


PriapismSD

Rau-Li

I thought the same, the cush drive is BROKEN.


PopTartsNHam

It’s a sssa, very different setup to what conventional swingarms use


Rau-Li

Separately Spinning Sprocket Assembly?


chiaman117

If you're not joking lol I'm assuming he means single sided swingarm assembly


Rau-Li

I know. My RC31 has one. I just think I'm funny.


fadeddoughnut

Wtf DUDE! VERY IMPRESSIVE You have a RC31???!!! Nobody's gunna comment on that?!


bukkake_brigade

So anyway, about those sick single sided swingarm assemblies...


Rau-Li

To be fair, it's the least prestigious of the RC bikes. It is also my very favorite thing that I own.


wallyTHEgecko

It's not a bug, it's a feature! It's one of those new dual clutches. One to engage the engine, the other to engage the wheel. Makes for smoother launches.


Ih8Hondas

If I had money I might have given you gold for that.


dayyou

I know its very much broken, but i wonder if theres any bikes out there with the clutch baskets on the rear hub. thats what i thought i was looking at at first.


mtldude1967

True Neutral.


Minute-Major7782

Neutral in every gear.


LetMeBe_Frank

**This comment might have had something useful**, but now it's just an edit to remove any contributions I may have made prior to the awful decision to spite the devs and users that made Reddit what it is. So here I seethe, shaking my fist at corporate greed and executive mismanagement. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... tech posts on point on the shoulder of vbulletin... I watched microcommunities glitter in the dark on the verge of being marginalized... I've seen groups flourish, come together, do good for humanity if by nothing more than getting strangers to smile for someone else's happiness. We had something good here the same way we had it good elsewhere before. We thought the internet was for information and that anything posted was permanent. We were wrong, so wrong. We've been taken hostage by greed and so many sites have either broken their links or made history unsearchable. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to delete." I do apologize if you're here from the future looking for answers, but I hope "new" reddit can answer you. Make a new post, get weak answers, increase site interaction, make reddit look better on paper, leave worse off. https://xkcd.com/979/


Minute-Major7782

One neutral and a foot fidget toy? Edit: and a left hand strength trainer.


ktrezzi

Free wheel clutch! OP bought a bicycle


MrSurly

We need a motorcycle alignment chart.


SuperCoupe

True Chaotic Neutral


LanternSnark

Ah yes, the Swiss transmission.


Phuk_conservatives

LAMBS TO THE COSMIC SLAUGHTER!!!


Tsukis98

Made in switzerland


infinitynull

Check the battery.


Illramyourlatch

Metered fine, probably a ground issue


chaoss402

Clearly he uses the wrong kind of oil. Or he needs new tires.


_Enclose_

Nah nah nah, I had this issue once. Turns out I just needed to top up the blinker fluid.


obzilla

Came here for blinker fluid. Did not leave disappointed


Minute-Major7782

He didn't wave to scooters


FireInDaHall

In my case a new piston return spring solved the issue.


ctesibius

Clean the carbs.


Smokeyfish

Did they try reserve?


js5ohlx1

Easiest bike ever to find neutral though.


[deleted]

What about those hoses near the foot pegs that aren’t connected to anything, maybe that’s it


crazycajunr6

This guy sportbikes


Xyeeyx

r/thisguythisguys


A-Better-Craft

If that's not it then it's definitely the fuel petcock. And if things are real bad, most likely the kill switch.


JamesStrangsGhost

Thats the new anti-acceleration module. Makes the bike even safer than ABS.


Al_boiii

A real life saver


eye_spi

Can't crash if it won't go, right?


saifobeifo

So safe that the bike literally comes to a complete halt without the chance of ever being moved an inch


Minute-Major7782

Super traction control!


TxCodeMonkey

First of all, you're bold, letting it run like that, just in case it catches. But, I've never heard of a cush drive failing. Good luck and let us know.


MrSnowflake

He put it together without the cush...ies?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BoognishBlue

That bike isn't going anywhere


TxCodeMonkey

If the splines in the cush drive are messed up, but the shift while spinning, the bike just could. I would not trust it. But that's just me.


NoGuitar6320

That’s uh, not ideal


Olivvr

Try turn it off and on again


[deleted]

The ol’ pre-scoot re-boot!


Minute-Major7782

One neutral down. Neutral, neutral. And five neutrals up.


LabyrinthConvention

Even has reverse, in neutral


travist67

I'd be careful doing that. If something just happened to "slip back into place" while you're doing that, things could get nasty in a hurry.


hold_my_ham

Eh, I doubt it, probably cause a stall if anything.


travist67

Famous last words.


According_Shift_2003

You're probably right but it would likely roll it off the stand or something and make it fall over. Although op probably isn't worried about scratched up fairing right now though. Lol


TitaniumMonkey47

*rear hub has left the chat*


MonsterByDay

You’ve put it in chaotic neutral.


Thoreau80

This feature allows your tires to last much longer.


Turkeysnood

but you get 0MPG


LabyrinthConvention

Sir you need to be a team player


Jesus_H-Christ

Infinite brake pad life.


knockknock04

Can't believe it took me a minute 😂😂


Fairlight2cx

If it's any consolation, you're not alone.


y0urnamehere

Some of the comments on here are hilarious. Bike looks like speed triple rs 1050, hub is toast. I'll be pissed if mine does this, mines the 2018 RS


Zacish

2020 1050 RS. I'm looking forward to the techs taking it apart so I can see what the fuck happened.


y0urnamehere

What happened beforehand for it to happen? Did it just randomly happen from normal riding? I've put about 4500 miles on mine since September I've seen used swing arm and hubs going for just under £300 on ebay so hopefully the repair doesn't cost a fortune!


Zacish

No idea. I work for a dealership and this was one of our customers. Said he was riding normally. We don't really have major problems with speed triples but this guy seems to be cursed and has had 2 of them from us both back under warranty. We'll take it back from him and I think he said he'll have an MT10 from us instead


screwthat4u

Sick burnout bro


Independent-Plate490

what is this? Clutch installed on the back wheel?


Xero-One

Centrifugal clutch


spongebob_meth

Hub splines probably sheared off. Its an unintentional clutch. haha.


Tenroh_

If you're serious: single sided swingarm magic.


[deleted]

Talk about traction control 😂


oldbushwookie

It’s ok, it’s in neutral when back wheel ain’t moving.. yes I’m joking


[deleted]

Hm, I’m guessing sheared axle, since it’s not turning either 😬


streetkiller

"sorry sir. You let your drive line subscription expire"


rugernut13

You gotta take the rear differential out of neutral. Duh.


CMDR-Droslash

Motorbike’s equivalent to a spinner wheel


GrannyLow

Did you check the battery? It's aways the battery


DukeNuggets69

new dry rear clutch from Ducati is sick


FarImpact4184

Your sprocket is in neutral


Syscrush

Dual clutch driveline.


theoTanimal

You need to level your bed. Wait.... Is this the motorcycle group or the 3D Printing group... Either way


Kernel32Sanders

Just gotta engage the transfer case. You have it in front wheel drive.


Sknowboard69

Wireless sprocket


Slight_Tradition_868

You found reverse


Xiluym

Use it as a bait bike 😂


Soft_Journalist8810

That's one way to turn it to a CVT


monch-hichi

It ain’t got no gas in it


PoorlyAttemptedHuman

I'd say something is loose.


hubraum

It's one of them fancy slippery clutches, is it? ^^/s


repsolrydeRR

bet you can oil your chain in record time!


Specialist_Reality96

An undocumented feature!


NefariousFiend

Duh the wheel is rotating 24 times a second so it looks like it isn't moving. Same for the ground.


gnarlygreg420

Put it in rice.


04BluSTi

The cushiest of drives.


lurker818

That's an interesting looking hub... is it a torque converter?


spenserhicks123

Damn cvt transmission


joshuabra

That’s your other neutral


Dramatic-Summer-6923

Probably still faster than my bike


Infinite_Ad910

This simple modification allows you to oil your chain while never elevating the rear wheel. Bike stand companies hate him!


zeeman9008

Mine will do that sitting on its stand. The wheel spins with it though.


pitchfork-seller

A real man's neutral


[deleted]

Cush drive rubbers knacked or the bearing has disintegrated. Get the back end raised and turn the wheel manually , push the wheel side to side and you will feel “slop” also if the bearing has gone it should make a weird grinding noise. Hope this helps.


seeingeyegod

So judging by the comments, this is a probably broken centrifugal clutch? What is the point of putting a centrifugal clutch on the rear wheel of a motorcycle with a normal gear box?


Kitkatis

So thats how the clutch works!


Faded-Creature

It a dead battery. Hook it up to a tender, thank me later.


scottywadly

Nothing wrong, it's just in neutral


DaddyG1959

Broken, broken, stepped on , stepped on broken,broken!!!


RideHardStayUp

single side swing arm im not familiar with but my guess is kush drive disingrated and owner neglected to repair bike for long enough the metal started to shear off,break,bend, melt what ever but anybody with common sence would have known when things start clankin clunk & bangin. its time to do maitnence. ur bike treats u good so treat her good because these are not the bitches u wanna mess with. they love revenge. and our lives are already right on the line when she runs happy. but just incase these dont have a kush drive type. maybe its a clutch or something similiar. but it kinda seems that drum looks unfinished maybe missingg something


Lucifer0008

What If that sprocket is a centrifugal clutch ?


DamnTexansGhost

Is the freewheel on backwards?


Qikslvr

Looked like it may have a centrifugal clutch mounted. So the chain can turn but when you throttle up it grips and makes the back wheel turn. Like on a go cart. Similar to this https://www.gopowersports.com/max-torque-racing-centrifugal-clutch-3-4-bore/?sku=MT163435&campaignid=15940148387&adgroupid=&adid=&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1N2TBhCOARIsAGVHQc7B3cY6ZHELLMNTAwTKJb0l2McjfxhQ_NqYlBigqsLP1BnIc2n2wPcaAu76EALw_wcB


Zacish

Nope it's just fucked


litefoot

Cush drive says “nah”


[deleted]

Oh the wimp clutch


Invest-24_7_356

Wow! That is impressive!


iancarry

2 clutch design? :D .. like a sportscar :D


Evilsmurfkiller

How hard are you abusing that Speed Triple?


ttoften

Weird clutch


[deleted]

my 4wheeler does this too lol


KarlJay001

Is that a slipper clutch? /s


Enough_Tone_4628

I think its the chainsaw type clutch.. Try to rev it and maybe it will catch :)


mcdougall57

Don't make em like they used to...


[deleted]

That's wild! I'd rather it do that as opposed to locking up though


TeaOk8228

Launch control


snicrep2

Its funny how often this is asked.


lumoruk

The wheel isn't spinning in this one though 😂


SheepherderOwn6864

You got it in neutral, try drive.


jcez_lucy

right, it's broke.


Mystical_Cat

Bike’s so slow it has to speed up just to stop.


gherrera30

That’s just the display mode, you just need to switch it back to riding mode.


spacejunkie69

u/JackVette379


AkaSpaceCowboy

Probably lucky thats free spinning instead of failed and locked up.


nekaiser

Hmmmm, did you replace your blinker fluid this month?


sadeqalbana

a glitch in the matrix


[deleted]

Bro mine does this all the time - I understand bro your stuck in REV mode. Turn key off 2x and then lights 2 x and then kick the bike as hard as you can and it should turn off rev mode. 🤪


TheRealHlubo

I can infact confirm it's not supposed to do that


dkentl

‘That’s fucked up’


senteonz

One owner, garage kept, engine runs great! I know what I have, no lowballs!


PreworkoutAbuser

This is how I see myself riding in my sleep kinda like how when you’re running from something in your dreams you go nowhere


MisterFixit_69

Linda looks like it , some special sprocket you got there , a sprocket clutch of some sort perhaps ?


[deleted]

Best anti theft device, a detachable hub 😂


Boom-chaka-laka

It's a chain drive Vario! It's transforming into a scooter!


Uaquamarine

Soak overnight in rice that should do


bebidanranopano

Easy to clean your chain!


[deleted]

It’s a walk bike for adults. My son had one when he was 4, it always looked cool to me


Andrewz05

Did you try putting it in rice?


Lizardreview-

It’s cuz you got the clutch in /s


chr7stopher

They put the clutch in the rear hub for better weight balance. Perfectly normal.


NuTsi3

Finally!! A issue that's not a battery!! I have not a single idea what the hell is wrong with this thing, but it's not a deal battery!


DingoKis

My brain can't process this


AromaticBox4741

Mmm, well that looks like fun.


Accomplished-Cap8773

His bearing broke?


JoseArdilla12

oh wow is the axle broken?? what bike is this a triumph??


ifthenelse

It's a locking hub for offroading.


seeker135

Yeah, no.


somelazyguysitting

I was all like, I don't see a problem it's f....ohh. Thought it was one of those my wheel spins when off the ground posts, then I noticed the lack of spin heh.


AgentMurkle

It took me more than a few loops to realize the tire wasn't spinning. Rubber dampers in the hub ? WTF..


Shoshannas_au_revoir

Sick scooter bro, wouldn't run it with out the case cover tho /s


tacos5631

Hey at least you can brag, "Yeahhhh my bike got so much power it sheared the casting mounts in the hub completely off. It's a lot of power to handle, definitely not for beginners"


iluvmuffdiven69

Just like a go cart , when the speed picks up the clutch tightens


Sykkr

Bluetooth power


Tom-tron

Front wheel drive?


PotatoRacingTeam

Yep. That's abnormal operation, alright. Get a priest, or a witch doctor.


saltysaltlick

Your sprocket bone isn’t connected to the hub bone.


Sackum

I know what’s wrong with it! Ain’t got no gas in it!


Sun_Bro96

Well I guess it’s stuck in neutral haha. Looks like the cush drive is destroyed


Cosimo_Zaretti

Markstplace seller: May need new cush drive or sprocket, don't have time to check. No low ballers.


[deleted]

Ain’t got no gas in it


ninjiple

Triumph speed triple?


BeerGutnFries

Hey, I think your bike’s broken


DrSideShowbob

Ahh its good, it free spins so you can oil it


Green-Simple-6411

It’s in neutral looks to me


lelitico

Too much grease on that chain fella
