Clutch ???

(1/2) > >>

Coppertop1234:
Just been on a lovely ride out on the F1 Nice sunny day apart from the adolescent teenage on the back of the school bus.

Thought I heard a slight ringing sound and bike was a little less responsive.Just got into the driveway and the ringing became a clattering from the clutch.

Yup definitely the clutch pull in the lever and what a rattle.
Checked all cables they are fine, can't adjust to solve the issue.

Never changed one before on a bike, is it easy enough ? Do I need any special tools?

Hints /Tips / Advice appreciated.

Cheers

firstly,you say the bike is running not as good as before?

 it maybe clutch rattle because one or more cylinders are running rough,

does the noise lessen if you put it in gear?

 has the tickover speed altered?  slower ?

Coppertop1234:
Cheers for comments, but definitely not clutch rattle
Bike was dragging a bit nothing much
When I got into drive and pulled in the clutch it sounded like a can of marbles and when trying to select a gear it wouldn't select only grind as if I had no clutch bite at all.

Johnwebley:
suggest you remove the clutch cover,and check the clutch basket,springs .and center,


 do you have a manual?

 its not a difficult job,

Coppertop1234:
Thanks John

I will strip at weekend and have a better look
Yes I have manual  - just watched hackaweek on you tube and it looks straight forward -apart from the tool thats required  (I had better order one)
I think it will be the clutch release lever rather than the clutch plates - unsure where i will source one of these at moment can't see anything on DSS site
