On my second bike (spares, project, something bike).

 

I bought it with the main bearing of the clutch worn. Replaced it, checked everything and build it back together. At first start it seemed ok but shut off (probably because of oil during mounting of the cilinder etc). Second attempt the kickgear broke (the footrests had been welded up, and the kickstarter could get caught in it).

 

Bought the part, needed it for another bike, took some while. Drank some beers, lived my life,

 

 

 

Couple of years later, bought a new gear and mounted it, started it, and a strange sounds occurs. In neutral there is no real problem, but when put in gear and clutch released a strange noise occures. Its like a rubbing, almost like rubber against steel (but less squeaky) not real scraping or something. I cant figure out what it can be. Had the clutch side everything loose and remounted no difference.

 

I do notice some sound from the gearbox when I turn it by hand, but I think its always like that.

 

I would like to figure it out before dismounting the engine (again), but I am affraid thats the only solution (and it keeps you busy).

 

One more thing I noticed the clutch pack is quite far off (fingers like 20mm) but I cannot think of a reason why it would make this noice). And it used to work...

At 20mm the clutch fingers should be rubbing on the clutch cover.

The ''cap'' of the slave cilinder is inbetween.

 

I am going to fix it, also to make sure this does not cause it, and because it needs to be correct anyhow. And if it solves it, I dont have to take it appart.

 

Only strange thing is it did work before without this sound, but the places could have swelled, I think I did redo the waterpump, but I can check that in the log file.

I`m telling you that this has happened to me. The fingers rub on a small fin on the outer case. Not the center of the fingers.

Ok, ill check it out. Only had 1 time rubing, and this was because I was beeing sleepy and did the clutch wrongly. I had the fingers on the wrong place

 

I will check in later again with the answer.

Too bad made the clutch spot on still problem. So engine is out, will disassemble tomorow and see whats wrong...

Still havent found the problem, but rehaul is decided. I am now pretty far in taking it appart so can better finish the job!

 

Only did not have my puller here, so need to wait to see the real problem!

Both secondary axle bearings are shot. Got them new, tonight put it back together!

Problem is solved. Was a combination of gearbox bearings and/or the kickstarter bearing.

 

Still has a little noice or sound in the gearbox. like all gas gas bike (and other btw) have. Just the gears. Some have it more others less, this one quite a lot. But bike has good power, and everything works fine now. Probably even more power than my (good) 2008 which I use for championships. Think will give that one a new piston in the summer.
