Clutch noise when starting off
Hi -
I have a 2004 1000 DS Supersport with about 8000 miles on the clock.
It only happens when I start off. No problems at all when riding.
It sounds like a grinding noise. I can't say that the clutch is slipping, but I do take it easy when starting off because of the sound.
It happens if the engine is cold or hot.
The funny thing is I have no problems at all once I am up and going. Full throttle 8000 rpm shifts cause no problem.
I bought the bike with 4000 miles on it and I am pretty sure it has always done this.
It is my first bike with a dry clutch - is this normal??
Any ideas??
Thanx -
Scott
