Dead serious! Can be fustrating at times when I stop at long turning traffic lights. My friends tried also can't engage neutral. -.-

Hi guys,

 

Just want to check if my clutch plate or housing got problems. I put bike on mainstand then clutch in and engage to gear 1.

 

Next I pull throttle and my rear wheel spin like as if I never clutch in. I realized this when lubing my chain.

 

But when I ride it feels normal, bike will still move at half clutch. Only thing it's hard to shift to neutral when stationary..

 

Should I service or replace the clutch plates/housing?

[swastikzz]

my plates cos me hundred and twenty for EBC 5 plates.

worth while durable n log lasting. ESP wen mine is Dry clutch.

I think that is normal. Usually i check if need to replace plates by clutching in and there's this shattering metal sound. At first i dunoe, but i just happy happy change, and in fact it is the prob. But mech told me can qait awhile more but im taking no chances. Lol....

[badd89]

guys so if we are from neutral changing to gear 1 and the loud 'tak' sound is heard its because of the clutch??

so need to change the clutch plates???

And for the clutch springs..heard of aftermarket springs..is it worth the try or stay stock the best???

[thrasher]

That tak sound is normal for super4

[LXY]

ytd i just changed clutch plate, why there is still stone jumping inside ah? anybody know?

my gear engagement is okay quite smooth and no loud tak sound.

[plasticprison]

stone jumping sound when your bike is cold? clutch housing.

Ya is when engine just started, after warm up, sound not that loud Liao.

Housing oso at clutch plate there right? How much? Housing comprises of what component?

Many thanks!
