Does this sound normal? Rubbing noise after replacing clutch
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2018 10:59 pm
I recently had the clutch bearing or "FACE SET DRIVEN" piece replaced in my clutch by the dealer. (The part that always wears out) I got the clutch back from the dealer and upon putting the clutch back on the bike I noticed that now it makes a bit of a rubbing sound when running. Does this sound normal or is something amiss? I don't hear the sound with the cover on, only with it removed. Due to the horrible 20F weather and snow I haven't really been able to do much road testing.
Some things to note: When I torqued the clutch back on, I did slightly overtorque it on accident (it's at about 40ft lbs). This slight over torque couldn't cause an issue could it?
Also is it necessary to add additional grease to the shaft of the bike itself? (I did not) I don't see any mention of this in the service manual, just about greasing the parts inside the clutch. I assume the dealer did the necessary greasing for the clutch itself (I asked them and they told me they did)
I'm really hoping I don't have to remove the clutch again as it is an extreme pain to do without an impact driver.
Here is a video of the noise. Please turn your sound way up.
