Posts: 12 Myrtle Beach, SC Gender:	Versy Adjuster 06/29/16 at 09:48:41 I am getting ready to replace the throw out bearing in my clutch and would like to replace the cam chain adjuster while the side cover is off. I can not find a link to get the Versy Adjuster. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the link to the Veray Adjuster. I have a noise, high pitched, that happens when the clutch is disengaged and also on deceleration. I took it to the stealer and they "think" it is the throw out bearing but it will cost me $90 to confirm the diagnosis and then the cost of parts, mark up and their $90/hr labor rate, taxes plus additional Myrtle Beach tourist tax. I am not a tourist but locals get to enjoy the tax also. I hear the sound bite on the cam chain noise and this noise does not sound like that. Actually sounds like a bearing going bad. I did change the oil a few days ago, Honda GN4 10W40, and the noise almost has gone away. (?) The bearing looks easy to get to and costs $12 so I think I will do it myself. I have done clutch jobs on some of my past bikes but this is the first on I have ever seen a throw out bearing on. If anyone has another idea please let me know and thanks again for the link!

The Savage can make a whining noise in the gear train......especially during the deceleration as you describe. Mine makes that noise....and it has been doing it for the last 8,000 miles and I believe it is just the way the bike is.

It most likely has nothing to do with the clutch throw out bearing.....I am not sure anybody has ever reported one failing on the Savage.

If the sound doesn't change as you cycle the clutch lever in/out while the bike is standing still (engine running).....that would indicate there is nothing wrong with the clutch bearing. Get on a steep downhill, and see if the whining is louder on a hill than it is on level ground....that would tell you that it is just normal gear noise....and the level is related to how much force is applied to the drive train. My bike whines the loudest in the lower gears while decelerating on a downhill to a STOP sign.

Straight cut gears, a belt, and nobody has ever had a failure of the throw out bearing. I don't even know if one is in there. The throwout that pushes the rod has no bearing on the outboard end, so why would we need one inboard ? Maybe they put one in there, but it's never been a problem.

Thanks for the replies fellows. I will check all these out tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I did the carb modifications to help the mid range and backfiring last week and it worked great. Still get a little backfire sometimes decelerating but that's not a problem. The bike runs great now, smooth and strong. Gas mileage is 50mpg now but the bike runs so much better its worth the little extra gas cost. My wife just got her license after taking the motorcycle safety course. We looked at several bikes for her and this one just fit her size like it was made for her. She loves it and loves to ride. Thanks again for the help fellows!!!

Kenny DK, Your best bet is to buy a new pulley ,you have teeth worn away on the pulley and the main shaft. use a product called Bearing mount(used to hold bearings in place by auto engine rebuilders)then tighten to at least 94 ft/lbs If the the teeth on the main shaft are too worn,your in big trouble as it would require a complete rebuild . when you are done paint a strip across the pulley and nut ,then you can check after to make sure it"s not loosening again.
