[QUOTE="vince998, post: 23851, member: 261"] Hi John, Thanks for asking. The noise is as you mention "well investigated" but still there. as far as i can tell, it´s not causing damage/wear, so i´m just enjoying the weather and doing a lot of miles. After 1500 miles, the clutch internals are still perfectly dry (maybe a bit of oil in there would quieten things down :-)) Once i get enough time to fiddle, i´ll experiment with spacing the inner primary plate out from the clutch centre, and get back to you. One thing i have noticed is i can reproduce the noise on a static engine by prodding the kickstarter. Seems to be the driving clutch shoes banging up against the new drum (maybe Russel could tune them to flat C for the future), or the torque arm pins contacting the back of the pressure plate. As mentioned before, the clutch is working great and only produces a clatter at tickover. Luckily there are no traffic lights around me in a 50 mile radius, so all i have to do is time the roundabouts correctly for a quiet ride :-) [/QUOTE]
