Yeah, my first thought was
"new crankshaft"!.....(I priced that crank....then there is the labor!) but that was so horrible - hoping a fix was possible.
IF indeed the tops of those splines are scuffed and missing some steel .....as they seem to be back there towards the boss.
Then yeah, you risk having a complete CVT failure some day when you are in some road situation that would be very unsafe.
Belt breaks are scary enough - but if things bound up in there with a shattered front pully ...a locked rear wheel would be bad.
Ah geez....Neil, no $$ assistance from the dealer who last installed that nut?
Just very bad luck Neil.
We're all feeling it.....
Yep. New scooter shopping. Or a nice used one, but only if the price is right.
Hang in there....
