Hi everyone,
I have a query regarding the clutch on my 2010 LE with just under 10,000 miles on the dial.
At idle the clutch is quite noisy, but if you give the motor a little rev the motor starts to accelerate with an almighty bang! It is very disconcerting. Doing the same again whilst holding the clutch lever in removes most the noise. And a take-off in first in similarly fuss free. But the big bang for an in neutral clutch engaged rev up is horrible.
Now I have been going thru all the past posts trying to get to the cause of all this, and the best reference I can find is to the Bluey fix. But is this applicable to 2010 bikes? And I could not find a link to a how-to on doing the Bluey fix. Is there one?
And if I am inside the clutch assembly having a look, what else should I be doing in there? The clutch does not appear to slip or anything just now, but I am happy to do some prevention work while the bike is open. Should I replace the plates and springs per the LAMonster how-to? And can my bike be affected by the tube nut issue. Do I need to dig that deep?
Many thanks in advance for any replies. I tried to figure this out based on the history contained in the forum, but I am a little confused by it all.
Thanks again.
Tim
