  3. Yep - definitely interested - could you send pics?
  4. seat cowl? color if you have it?
  5. Went back and looked at the manual a bit closer as well as a dry clutch video - let me see if I have the workings right: The flywheel, bolted to the motor output shaft, is basket-like, with teeth. There are 2 friction discs, and 3 non friction discs (includes the outer disc that I assume connects to the starter). Friction discs have teeth in center of disc - these sit on the transmission shaft. Non-friction discs have teeth on the outside edge - these mesh with the flywheel. Pull the clutch, friction discs don't spin (assuming rear wheel is stopped), but the non friction discs do. I would imagine that the 'intermediate' disc ("F" in the manual) would have the opportunity to bang around significantly as the teeth wear - but the indication is that if you pull the clutch momentarily - the discs have the opportunity to re-align ? In neutral, with everything compressed together, there would have to be play on the transmission shaft splines (between the friction discs teeth and the shaft splines) and/or on the flywheel teeth/splines to make a clatter - is that really where the wear is and the source of the noise?
  6. Thanks Andy. It does diminish when pulled in. Not abused AFAIK. Don't tend to slip the clutch much, no wheelies here Hmm, I'd not thought about refreshing the hydraulic fluids for both clutch and brake - probably a really good idea! (Although I think you meant transmission oil, which was refreshed 15k ago - probably time for that as well). Perhaps I'll make a recording of the noise (and level) and get some feedback - I looked at the service manual, and sure, there are a number of disks riding on that spline...but assuming they work like a car clutch does, the pressure plate, with the clutch in normal position, presses everything together - there really shouldn't be any play ??? Pulling the clutch lever, presses on the pressure plate springs, which 'loosens' everything up...I imagine this clutch works very much in the same manner, except there are 2 friction disks...so a little miffed as to why it get quieter when pulling the clutch in?
  7. Subject: 2000 V11 Sport, 16k miles I bought it 4yrs ago with 1800 miles on it. From 1,800 to about 15,400 miles - the clutch has been quiet. Albeit, never very easy to shift smoothly - always felt a bit violent at the end of the clutch lever travel. I've kind of been suspicious of old pressure plate springs getting soft possibly? However, for the last bit, its been getting chattier and chattier. Especially when cold, it sounds like marbles in a cement mixer. I've read several threads here stating that this is normal, don't worry about it. But, dahyum, its a pretty loud clatter! It's winter now and as soon as I finish with the daily drivers (cars) and the rally car, I can turn my attention to the bike. From my reading, inspecting the clutch requires removing the motor from the bike - not something I want to do, but if need be... How do I determine what the root cause of the noise is ?
