I own a 2014 HTS 1800 Roadsmith installed on a 2008 wing .
The rear end started to make a clicking noise that got worst at slower speeds. The noise stops when the clutch is pulled and drifting at any speed. I checked the u-joints, the rear had a slight side to side movement. I had a local mechanic shop replace both joints. Replacing joints did not correct the issue. There is no noticeable noise turning the differential by hand using either the wheels or the pinion yoke.
CV joints seem fine as well as the wheel bearings have no noticeable movement or noise. I plan to call the factory today to see if they have heard of any issues like this one. I might take this to a local trike shop and or drive line shop for them to test drive this before I start removing the differential and CV axles.
This noise is coming from the rear of the trike. Sure hope it is not an output shaft issue in the transmission? I checked this too by running the engine with out the shaft installed. I did not run the trike with the rear end off the floor.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
