I apparently have the same problem as wildcat does; explained in EN454 drive clicking noise belt or transmission. I've looked through my manuals for an explanation of how to get to those internal parts, and it looks like I'll have to take most of the engine apart in order to fix the above problem. I'm wondering if it would be prudent to just take the entire engine apart at the same time in order to check all the internals (pistons, rings, springs, clutch, etc.) or if I should just focus on one thing at a time? Further, since the manuals I have (a Clymer and a Haynes) don't really explain very well an engine rebuild as a whole, does anyone have any advice for doing an engine rebuild on our en450's for someone who is mechanically inclined, but has never gone that deep down the repair rabbit hole? Thanks in advance! |

I would first check the drive pulley to see if it is worn and if the belt is adjusted properly before you tear into transmission.to check drive pulley I would put bike on center stand.take side cover off and put bike in gear. move tire back and forth and watch pulley to see if it moves on shaft.if pulley dose move take pulley off and put bearing grease on shaft to see if it takes care of noise. still check belt tension to. ive got 48.000on my bike and I am on my second pulley. you can spray wd 40 on belt and wipe it of to. good luck and hope this helps you out. gayland

So I took off the front sprocket cover after putting it on the center stand, threw her into a higher gear and rotated the rear wheel, but no movement of the sprocket or any clicking noise. Checked the belt tension and it seems to be within spec. The belt itself looks fine. I took her out and got her warmed up. Ran around town and a short jaunt on the highway. Then that clicking sound came back with a vengeance.
Does this indicate I need to just grease the sprocket?

I would grease the splines and I hope this takes care of the problem. when you take drive pulley off the grease will probly be dry looking.

Hey Blaine I have to inquire on this. When you say grease the splines, are you talking on the pully for the drive belt? The pully that goes into the rear wheel? You want to grease the splines where the belt teeth go into? I have mine off at the moment replacing the tire. If I should do this now would be the time to!

You grease the splines of the output shaft of the transmission; the shaft the pulley mounts on. Grease the splines, and put a dab of grease in the splined hole of the pulley. Don't really have to worry too much about OVERgreasing it, it's under a cover.

I just had this clicking problem, Greasing the shaft stopped it thanks again fellas, I will be looking for a new pulley, I'm also looking for a center stand if you got one for sale.

I sde-greased the spline and the inside of the pulley, then coated them liberally with RTV sealant, left the sealant for a few mins to start to go off then re-assembled, it has the same effect as greasing the parts but acts as a better shock absorber, also takes up the wear space a bit better, no substitute fro replacing the pulley though.
