Default question

I cant stand to here that damn clutch noise.how do you get rid of it???? New Clutch plates/springs/???? anything else??? I have been doing some good wheelies now and using the clutch to get it up, now the clutch seems to be getting a little louder plus making some new funy noises like its falling apart.
can somebody please let me know if rebuilding it will eliminate the noise. OR a fix???

All I can say is the clutch is not designed to withstand constant wheelies ... it's for smoothly pulling off in first and changing gear ...really this is abusing the bike ... if you must do this then find out about a clutch upgrade ... OR ... accept worn out clutches as a fact of life ...

Only two or three a day ... lol ... wheelieng isn't something a road bike is designed to do ever, so even one wheelie rags the clutch a little, do it several times a day over a period of time and it's going to fail .. if it was already noisy before then you've just strained an already weak clutch ... when you treat a clutch like this apart from the wear factor you risk buckling the plates too which knocks it out of balance and makes it drag ...

I don't actually know of a specific upgrade but there maybe one out there ... clutches are normally long lived in regular and normal use but like anything mechanical the more you punish it the greater the wear and tear, hope you find what you need :-)

If you're pulling them alot, change your gearing. An increase in torque should help you from replacing your clutch once a year.

Default RE: question

what about the flywheel, you have a after market as well is it lightned or same size, did it come with the clutch kit or seperate? So you installed the clutch and fly wheel yourself? Was it tuff?Did it effect normal driving,or was it still smooth all around.
Cuz what im trying to acconmplish heere is to get rid of the clutch noise and ifthese parts did it for you, im ganna buy asap
