Had some work done on the bike, picked it up at the weekend and I noticed that it was a bit clunky sounding, and when I engage the clutch the sound is significantly reduced if not entirely eliminated.
I have a video of the sound…anyone have any ideas on what it might be? Would like to have some idea before I ring the mechanic on Monday and have a chat with him.
Clutch basket? Either way up that tickover speed!
yeah i thought tick over maybe a bit low, you know your bike, sounds like revs are low.
wot work did you have done?
Matt put it down a little while ago.
I thought clutch basket because one of Cheeky’s bikes had the same issue, but it was fine Tuesday, like that Saturday, I was hoping it might have been something else.
Would it come on top like that, just out of the blue?
Throttle bodies were done and generally a diagnostic look at the bike because it felt like there was an air/fuel mix issue, If the bike had Carbs I would have bet good money on it being that.
As it was, it was the 2nd cylinder which has lost about 50% of its compression, which is not an easy or cheap fix, seems like it would be cheaper and easier to buy a new engine and put that in, which I will probably do over the winter.
Just worried that now I will be looking at a new clutch as well, which just keeps upping the cost of repair 
now how did you manage that? :w00t:
