The Genesis 1049 NOISY clutch syndrome

[NorthBayNed691]

I just bought a 2016 VK Pro 2 and it has this annoying rattle as well. I could almost live with that but when I get going above 3000-5000 RPM I get a lot of noise then at 6000 RPM it again is very loud. It is worse on a hard pack trail but also does it in powder. Very annoying and hard on the ears. I would like to get this issue resolved before I run out of warranty.

Could this noise also be clutch noise...sounds like the exhaust or muffler has been disconnected...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ned

Does your exhaust exit at the rear if so it could have to do with broken exhaust bellows. Yamaha clutches don't give a lot of issues but not saying it couldn't.

My 15 Viper has the annoying rattle and I would like to do this fix.What is involved in pulling the stub shaft out?

They come off easy, Pull clutch off and undo 4 housing screws and its ready to come off.
I use a slide hammer and i have a clutch retaining bolt welded to a nut that thread's to the end of my slide hammer. A couple of wacks and off it comes. Total removal time including clutch is less then 5min.

Also loosen off the two bolts clamping the case halves together from the bottom.

My dealer told me he did loctite on the stub shaft mod. When I picked the sled up at the dealer it was awesome to listen to....very quiet. After only 45 km the rattle, annoying diesel sound has returned. Also, some growling grinding at very slow creeping speeds. Not Happy! Yamaha needs to address this!
