when that happens try putting it in first or second gear and then back to neutral and then put it reverse, I think maybe the trans gears are still turning and just need the extra to stop then before shifting to reverse, let us know what happens
I need your help Lee. Champion will not answer my emails. I need the part # for 2010 Champion rear axle bearing. Suzuki with VW brakes. I replaced the rear seal but I'm told I need to replace the bearing as the rear end oil washed out the sealed grease in the bearing. Just a matter of time before it goes. China # 206 comes to mind if my feeble memory serves me correctly. Inter race is slightly raised. Not level with outer race. McCarr-master shows a #6206 metric double sealed but the inter-race is not raised.
Hi, Lee
I have a 2012 HD Ultra Classic with a Lehman LLS Renegade Conversion.
Prior to the conversion I had a Champion Reverse gear fitted, and had no problems with it.
Since the conversion, When I first start the engine and its cold, it goes into reverse perfect, but once the engine is warm like after 10km every time I try and put it into reverse it crunches something awful, I am concerned about doing serious damage to the gear box.
Do you have any ideas.
thanks for your time.

You didn't answer my question. Did you get a bearing number when you had it apart ? I also explained that the pictures of Champion didn't represent the real thing.......
so we want the 30x62x17 bearing ??

I always put it into first before reverse, and when it crunches I put it into second, it helps but only 2 in 10 times. would adjusting my clutch help.
Question: You put it into 1st, then reverse, and then into neutral before backing up ???
Should not grind......... if you are sitting still...
I have no idea what weight oil is used, its gets serviced at my local HD dealer. But as trikes are not common here in Australia the HD mechanic said he could not help me with the reverse. My friend has a Motortrike conversion with the same reverse and she is having the same problem.OK.. That sounds like a clutch that might need adjustment. What weight oil are you running in the primary ? What weight oil are you running in the transmission ?

Ok mate, I will give it a go, cant watch the video yet as i am at work, and everything is blocked. I will let you know how I get on. thanks for all your help.I don't know if Harley is using the 20-50 in your transmission or not. I suggest 75-110 in your 6 speed. But before you change any fluids, try adjusting the clutch like the video shows... If it works for you, then do it to your friends bike....
