Grumpy old man 4,659 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi I've got a rumble from what I think is the thrust bearing, I think it's just on tick over, if I just rest my fingers on the clutch lever enough to take up the free play but not enough to put any pressure on the clutch the noise goes. Does anybody else have this problem, is it serious? It's been like that for sometime. Thanks all Lloyd Link to post

trisaki 2,029 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Normal , changed the clutch bearing on a customers Honda hornet as he was worried , less than 500 miles later noise was back so yes fairly normal , as long as noise disappears when clutch lever is pulled in 2 Link to post

DaveM59 1,603 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Think of it as an indicator that you have the cable play adjusted correctly. When it stops, increase the play again. A feature not a problem. 1 Link to post

motorbykcourier 293 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The clutch basket DOES get noisy after a few miles for sure !! I had concerns and looked at a number of options...….. But TBH - I made the change to 10w/40 oil (fully synthetic) and noise reduced and I got slightly smoother gear changes - I made this change at ~ 60K miles Now we're at over 200K miles and yes its a bit noisier, but...… I think that's allowed!? 4 1 1 Link to post
