UKBIker Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 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 ?

Member Contributer gll429 Posted February 7, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2020 first check for loose engine mounting bolts . motor shakes harder with the clutch engaged.. i have never encountered loose springs on the BACK of the clutch... and honda doesnt even show them on the parts finch.

Member Contributer Terry Posted February 7, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2020 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.

Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted February 7, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBIker Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yep my springs are as loose as yours. Going to put it back together and see if i can catch it on a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
