Puggz Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Without taking it apart, how can you tell if there's an issue? Case and point - my wife's '19 ZR6000 (2000km) makes a whining noise when its moving and the pitch of the noise is speed related. Any thoughts on what this could me?

skidooboy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Look at the lower drive shaft bearing, on the Brake caliper side. Common issue for the shaft to allow the bearing to spin on the shaft. Several fixes available, from several vendors. Good luck. Ski 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Farmer Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I put it on a stand and see if you can pin point where noise is coming from. I agree with ski it is low miles though too. Could be jackshaft bearing too those can go bad early as well. Get it fixed before any real damage is done or you have to walk 😎. Good luck.

Puggz Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 She hasn't been ridden at all this winter so it sounds like a good off season project. I had to pull it out of the trailer on saturday (-20) and is was like wah-wah-wah.. so it has to be something drive shaft related. Mrs is 130lbs w/gear so it shouldn't be anything on the skid frame.

jannickz Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Worn or damaged bearings in the clutch, driveshaft, or jackshaft can also cause a whining noise. This is generally a more complex diagnosis and might require a mechanic's expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are handy this is a home repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
