03 Engine Noise


UKBIker

Recommended Posts

Got a noise coming from the engine. Its a knocking noise that goes away when the clutch is used. With the engine running in neutral you can hear the noise, pull the clutch in and the noise goes away. Ive taken the clutch apart and the only thing i can find is the springs on the back of the clutch basket are loose. Could this be the noise ? Anyone had this issue ?

I've got really loose spings in the clutch damper area of my VTR; with the basket out of the bike, you can make a nice rattling sound, and I'm fairly sure it contributes to some rattling especially at idle and low revs. Probably fixable with a new clutch basket but not worth doing.

Springs are not the source of clutch knock at idle rather over time
slop develops allowing the gear teeth to knock about and thus the
noise... grab the clutch lever and the inner basket helps align the
outer basket and the noise deadens... the only cure is to eliminate
the slop with new clutch parts... namely replace the clutch guide p/n
22116-MB0-000 and clutch bearing 91024-MB0-003
