749R clutch makes funny noises

iang · 26-Jul-2004, 20:46

Does anyone with a 749R find that the slipper clutch makes a sort of screeching sound if you slip it when pulling away, say on a hill or even if you try to pull away quickly.

Yeah, but I just thought it was normal

mine did that however after a few miles it has go away ! Or may be im riding it different !

I had this on my 748.

I then pulled the plates out and refitted them, and the sound has now gone!

Don't know what I did as the plates went back in exactly as they came out - I marked every single one - so while I know this doesn't help it may be worth spending half an hour doing the same?

Just worth a try as it doesn't take long and is very easy to do...

I asked at JHP and they said that most bikes with a slipper do make this noise although it can be stopped by fitting a spring plate.

mine does it with a 14t front and a 15t front, its been stripped and rebuilt by experts on a number of occasions too, don't worry about it, it gives the car drivers something else to listen to/look at

I just picked up my 05. It made the same noise. While it was happening, it stalled my bike like 4-5 times if I dont' give enough twist. I guess it made my bike's break-in didn't turn out too well....

Fast getaway on most Dukes gives you a graunching noise/feel.
My 900SS did it 10 years ago , my 996 did it and my 749R does it..............on second thoughts......perhaps its me ?
