Noisy Clutch????

Postby wullieb1 » Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:44 pm

Hey all,

When the bike is idling my clutch makes this ticking noise. When i select a gear and get to the friction point the clutch makes no noises.

I've changed the oil and its made no difference.

Any ideas and it is going to be costly lol.

Ok well me being me i decided it was time to have a look at the clutch and see if there was anything i could do to stop it making the rattling and now i can't get 2nd gear up.

Anyone have any ideas what the feck i've done wrong???

I basically stripped out the clutch and removed the plates then refitted them.

I can provide pics if you need them as i reckon i could have them plates in wrong.

Yeah caught that one after i built it back up.

Took the bike a quick blast and it will go into the gears i need but the clutch is pretty crap. Maybe just needs adjusted a bit.
