dissolvedego Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 tonight i noticed when i put the bird in neutral and let out the clutch a nasty *KER-CHUNK* type noise... like i missed a shift or something. then to my horror, when i tried revving the engine it made more of these noises, sounding horrible like it was between gears and about to do serious damage if i kept it up. i'm pretty sure it didn't do this before. this can't be normal. it really sounds horrible, like if i revv it in neutral i will tear the gears to pieces. :shock: anyone experienced anything similar?

The Krypt Keeper Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 if the bike is in neutral and made them noises I think its safe to say your clutch just gernaded.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dissolvedego Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 gernaded???? i should add that it runs fine in gear... it just doesn't like it when i pop the clutch out in neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Does the noise go away when the clutch is pulled in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dissolvedego Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Does the noise go away when the clutch is pulled in?hyes... it's like when i let the clutch out in neutral it goes partially into gear and starts grinding. i've noticed it only seems to happen in low rpms... if i rev high the noise goes away... but that first rev off of idle is like "K-K-K-KLLACK!". it seems quieter now... maybe it had something to do with the cold weather?

Guest rockmeupto125 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 There's significant clutch basket noise at an idle that goes away when the clutch gets pulled in. If these noises go away with pulling in the clutch, or increasing the RPM, and sound like kerchunks or quiet taps with a large hammer, that's probably normal. If there are screeching or grinding sounds, if this noise has just noticeably started, or you have reason to suspect the transmission may have developed a problem (you know its been mistreated, you've recently missed a killer shift, or its taken to jumping out of gear or lurching), you should have someone with a bit more mechanical knowledge take a look at it. good luck.

demon Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I've noticed that my clutch basket makes more noise when the weather is colder at startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
