wierd issue

[speedfreke]

I am not sure if this post should be here or in another section but, I am noticing after a hard accel, like after a little stop light to stop light race, the rear end feels loose, almost like the road is slick, but I dont see any leaks and all the obvious items are tight, any ideas? I tried searching and didn't find anything.

Thanks

Rear axle too tight? Rear brakes grabbing? Fluid level in the pumpkin good?:ummm:

I'm running a shinko tour master, diff is full and rear axle is torqued to yamaha spec

Did you check the swingarm bearings and shocks for lateral play?

You are probably heating up the tire causing it to feel "greasy".....:clapping:

It sounds like the tire is heating up - but you did catch my attention when you stated that your tightening the rear axle nut to spec - if so, it's too tight, the spec in the yamaha manual is wrong - s/b around 50 foot pounds of torque. If too tight, the rear diff assembly gets very hot.

Thanks guys, I will reset my rear axle torque. Also I just installed 11.5" progressive 430's, I double checked the mounting with those and they are all tight. I have not checked my swingarm bearings, I will check said items and re-evaluate
