Hi all, I have noticed over the last few years that when the engine is quite hot (coolant temperature 200°F+) and the clutch lever is within 1/2" of the hand grip, there is a loud bearing type of noise coming from the transmission area. Because this problem is intermittent depending on heat, I have ignored it, but I would like to know if it is a concern and which part needs attention. I've included these drawings for you to refer to, if needed.   |

I'm sure both of you have come to some kind of an explanation for the noise!
Why don't you share?

My question wasn't a trick question designed to find out if anyone else had solved this, and thus was as clever as me. Unless anyone else says that the noise is a predictor of _____ disintegrating, I'm not going to tear into it just out of curiosity. |

That's good to know; thanks, Chrisj. I also run synthetic oil (currently Mobil 1 15W50). |

I don't feel the pic you put up GR, was unintentional and I also feel it is the correct one.
There have been a lot of threads which have reported about the "noisy" pin in the clutch slave cylinder.
Maybe it just seeing the same postings repeated over and over again, regardless, I am inclined to hold the same view even though I have yet to experience anything (even remotely) related to that pin.

I've read lots about various clutch-related noises, but none in the same circumstances.

That pin is part # 14. I've heard of people removing the slave cylinder and cleaning/lubing the pin. Easy if on a lift.

The instructor told me go cool of your bike. This happened at the beginning of the class 2 years ago. Haven't had any problems since. At least I know what it sound like when it gets to hot. |
