Clutch Noise
Clutch Noise
Haven't ridden my Paso for a while. Just pulled the clutch in and I get this loud screetching noise. Would this be rust on the plates or something else? To clean is it just removing the top cover and cleaning the plates? I looked in the Faq and saw some directions on how. Cheers.

Re: Clutch Noise
More than likely the release bearing ( part of the clutch slave piston ) Check the FAQ,s as there is a good mod to improve the stock piston assy

Re: Clutch Noise
Thanks. I'm selling this bike so I have taken it apart and cleaned it. Gave it a little WD40 and it seems to have stopped.

So you are passing the problem on to the next owner.

Re: Clutch Noise
I've spent plenty fixing mechanical issues on this bike and because I'm too honest for my own good I tell people when there are problems to be sorted. And price accordingly.

Re: Clutch Noise
That's exactly what I was thinking. At least if the seller is informed he knows what has to be done.So you are passing the problem on to the next owner.
