    Back wheel locked...wth?

    So my brother nearly lost it on my bike today. He was going 50+ mph and the back wheel locks up!!!!!!!

    He is OK thankfully. So I get the bike towed to my Dads cause that was the closest place.
    1. He said he pulled the wheel and the rear transfer case had good fluid and turns OK.
    2. The u joint on the shaft looks new.... and functions well
    3. Shifts through all gears per the indicator light.
    4. Bike runs well in "neutral" and has oil in the crank case

    So is my trans toast? Is their separate fluid for the trans? Never had a trans issue before

    INSERT FOUL LANGUAGE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        How about the caliper?? Gets heated and then seized against the rotor..spins free when cooled down?? may be time to do a rebuild. Whens the last time fluids were changed or the system has been redone???

          Check your secondary drive unit for damage. Drain the oil and see what glitters.

            Negative... with the back wheel off of the bike if you try to let the clutch out while in gear, it will die. Rebuilt the calipers last year!

                Gears that drive the propellor shaft....back of tranny ..flange bolted to the back end. Take the swing arm off and take out the flange.

                  So is there a oil add or drain for this chamber?

                    Yes..take off the back cover on the left ( like where a sprocket cover would be ) and youll see the fill and level holes. may be pretty greasy under there so ave some rags handy to wipe the cases off.

                      Bigger bottom bolt would be the drain.

                            Stick a pencil magnet in the oil that comes out and swish it around..see if it comes out full of metal shavings.
