I was passing a couple of cars today just left from my house and went into 5th and as I was just letting it pull hard I felt a bump feeling . Im sure it wasnt the engine . I have stage 7 morley kit and did the double D clutch mod over a year ago. In the back of my mind Ive always been worried if when doing the double that I tightened the bolts up enough when installing that. I feel like I did. Could this be a shaft issue possibly ? I kept riding and I would accelerate pretty decent around town in lower gears but didnt experience it again . I accelerated pretty hard in 5th on the way home and felt nothing but I didnt stay in it like before when I noticed it . Any ideas ??
Accelerating after 5th gear and felt a bump feeling ??

Looks like you have an aftermarket pipe. Do you still have the centerstand?
I'm thinking pinion nut.

Do you know how to check the pinion nut?
Yeah, feels like a gear slip? Same happened to me and needed replacement rear final drive.

rear final drive.. you mean replacing 5th gear ?
No, it's the rear pumpkin on left side of wheel hub. Will need to remove 4 bolts and remove from swimgarm to inspect.

oh ok your talking about that rear chunk. Is it ok to keep riding it until it completely breaks or should I go ahead and change ? Any tips on getting another one ? Is it simple to change out ? thanks
Not sure if I'd keep riding. Sean Morley or CaptainKyle can help you out. It's easy to replace, use center stand. Remove axle nut and washer then 4 bolts and pull it off swingarm.

Sure. Be careful taking pumpkin off and drive shaft may stay in ujoint. Otherwise will have to slip it back in.

He's referring to the rear axle area differential case assembly, not the transmission.
