hi all
OK so how do you know when it is time for a new clutch,or spring ,or shoes?

reason i ask is :motor runs great but just started to make noise from rear end and it looses speed , i can let off gas and it Will pick up speed again and then noise comes back and i loose speed again,i have 5100 miles on her now .
is there a way to check pads to see if it is time ?
when on center stand i do not get this loss or noise ,only under load , please ...help!

What type of noise, is it a rattle, squeal, or something else. Everything should still be good at your mileage. Open the variator cover and check to see if the belt is still good, no pieces broken loose etc. Probably more likely the problem is in the variator slider/rollers housing.

its a vibration/ rattle , i will take off the variator , i have housing off and no obvious signs of anything , but i did just put sliders in not that long ago!
the sound is almost like a thin peice of tin vibrating, with speed loss

OK so i found the problem , it is a bad wheel(rear) bearing.
next question is how do i find out what size it is?

All bearing have a universal size number on them. Just take the number to a local 'bearing shop' and buy a Timken, or SKF, NGK etc...

ok so the bearing was bad ,and the rattle was my muffler shield coming loos but.. it is still making the throtie sound at high thrittle and loosing power !could this be a sparkplug problem?, mabie a exost leak?
i took off and inspected the vareatore ,and all is good there ,the plug looked good as well allthough the plug wire is not fitting real tight , but it has good power till i get to say 50mph or above, then it sounds loud and i have to let off gas till it kinda catches up with rpms .
any idias would be much welcomed!
