atp tranny

[Stiles86]

i know theres a guy on here with one in his ltr.... when my engine is running it sounds like theres no oil in the tranny it loud kinda like a knock but it runs great i broke in my motor like i always do and probly put 1 hour of good riding on it...should i be ripping this thing back apart??? i only have 2 weeks til first race

[TitanMotorworks]

take it apart, its not worth chancing it. is the tranny cut?

[Stiles86]

yes it is... last year was my first year on a suzuki and the first time iv ever had to mess with a tranny so im nervous about it

[TitanMotorworks]

it could be something else and not the trans. before you tear the engine apart, check oil filter for shaving, remove clutch pack raise rear end up and spin inner clutch hub. also shift threw the gears while doing that and see if tran shifts and spins smooth

I've seen the outer clutch baskets also brake the rivits and cause a knocking noise

[Stiles86]

i changed oil and filter 3 times nothing... hmm im gonna do what you said thanks ill let you know what i find

[LTR450_#67]

Yeah if you have an '08 LTR you NEED to update it to the '09.

[Stiles86]

lol cant do that man, got way to much into this bike now shoulda stayed with honda to begin with i need one more year out of this bike befor i throw it away...

[Stiles86]

i pulled my clutch out and it looked dry, yes i put 400ml in it so i dumped an extra 150ml in it and the thing smoothed right out... i hope thats not to much book says 400

[honda250xrider]

i used to overfill it even more than 150ml, i think i added around 200-250ml. There was a big topic about this on ltrhq and it seems the trans whines quite a bit but, usually goes away by adding more fluid.

[Stiles86]

wow i didnt know that, ill have to take a look into that... i wish atp was still open so i could bug them about this lol

[MR4Engine202]

what happened to atp??

[Stiles86]

they had to close up shop for a bit... they said they will open back as soon as posible, i dont know the whole story so im not even gonna try to explain it

[TitanMotorworks]

when you refill with oil, its 800ml in clutch side and 1200 in res tank

[Stiles86]

everything says 400ml where did you see that??

[hondaracer31]

He's saying 800ml stops the tranny noise.

[atveric132]

Mike has ATP going again.....he opened the shop back up a couple weeks ago....the 09 ltr tranny is no better than the 08 just so you know

[Stiles86]

thats good news^^ now i can send my other motor out

Putting more oil in your tranny is BS. The tranny and top tank runs together and not seperate systems. You have 3 oil pumps in your engine. The oil is continuelly pumped from engine to tank. The scavange pump,pumps the oil from the tranny to the tank and the pressure pump from the tank to the engine. When the quad is standing the oil slowly drains fom the tank to the engine,as soon as you start it up and stop the engine,you check the oil. The 400ml decals on the filler side of the engine,is just for initial fill.

[TitanMotorworks]

I was just posting the amounts I fill when drained. Not that the trans holds more oil.
if you only put 400 in tran and recomended in tank. the level will be low

Im not a big fan of cut trans, I have both of Cale downens race bikes from ATP in my shop and have replaced both of those trans to stock.
I also have dynoed both bikes too.
