Anyone have the middle plate installed on their '19? When turning right/after starting when accelerating mine makes a defined buzz. Looking at it while starting I'm thinking maybe the back of the plate contacts the CVT slightly when it's torquing over a bit...but there's a pretty decent amount of clearance so I'm not sure. Has anyone else had this issue and identified the source?

I’ve got the middle plate from Primitive and haven’t noticed any noise. Have you checked the torque of all the fasteners?
Figured it out: When the engine/transmission torques over from a start (largest amount of movement) it would lightly brush against the back of the plate, hence the noise. I used a blacksmith's leg vise to flatten the tail of the plate down a bit to increase clearance (I'm sure anything would work...I just like saying blacksmith's leg vise because it makes me feel cool for a second). Spoke with Primitive and they said that now they have notched the plate in that area for clearance. Test drove a bit and all is well!
I have not had that problem, but do not have the notched version so I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the tips.
