Paul Minnaert Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hi, Since these are dry clutches, it's normal to hear something. Ever heard a ducati clutch? It's hard to know if what you hear is normal, if you don't trust it, ask your dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I assure you, its normal yeah ducatis make one hell of a racket like they are going to fly apart but they only fly past you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 An alternative, don't use the clutch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 An alternative, don't use the clutch at all. 49781[/snapback] easier said than done unless youre just screaming along then it seems easier. Sure a lot easier for me on this bike than my last one. but that was a cruiser with no tach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grossohc Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Well i have finally got out on the bike and just ignored the noise it makes when dis engaging the clutch. did a 120miles and was impressed, tried not to be paranoid about noises when riding but after i got home wandered about with a biggg grin. but who invented that sidestand!!

jrt Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 it sounds like you'll be just fine. seriously- the clutches do make some rattling/rasping noise. I think of it as endearing, rather than threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bento Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 yeah, the dry clutch. and you should make it a point to hear a duke clutch one day. it's like somebody threw keys, or change in the transmition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
