So I noticed this a little last year, but it's getting louder........clutch is making noise

Like when you pull it in/engage the clutch, it's quiet
But when it's not engaged (at a stop light), it makes a little noise

The best comparison to make it to isa bad throw out bearing on a car with a manual transmission.....that kind of noise

I don't think you'd really call it chatter either, but who knows

Any ideas????

 

How many miles do you have on your ride? Is it like a ticking noise? You might need a new one. I found a clutch kit on Ebay for 129.00 cuz I thought I was gonna need a new one.

 

I notice it on mine, kinda of a low grumble. pull in the clutch and it goes away. I have been told its common, but would be interested also to hear if it really is an issue.

 

the honda dealership guy told me what it was but i forgot.

mine made the same noise when i bought it...i remember he said that all hondas including his and all the other staff that had hondas there made the same noise.

its an easy fix but i wouldn't worry about it.

..ofcourse thats assuming that we are talking about the same thing(i only heard it when i pulled in the clutch)

 

I dont think that is the same noise, this noise goes away when you pull the clutch lever. opposite of what your talking about

 

i have three buddies that have f4i's including me and all of ours make the noise. It's not very loud and u have to listen for it but i'm sure its no big deal. one of my buddies is an 06 w/ 2000 miles and it does it.

 

bike has 2400 miles on it

it's probably normal then

 

I think its just the clutch plates spinning with no pressure pushing them together. When you pull the clutch lever you take pressure off the clutch plates for them to spin freely.
