CLUTCH NOISE
Although it is harmless, some bike models may
have “squeal” or “chatter” coming from the clutch at
low RPM as it engages. Clutch squeal is caused by
the clutch components vibrating as the clutch
engages and can become more audible as the
clutch gets hot. For bike models that tend to have
clutch squeal or chatter here are some
recommendations to reduce or eliminate it:
- Oil: For optimal clutch performance Rekluse
recommends using fresh, clean oil that meets
JASO-MA oil rating requirements. Rekluse
offers Factory Formulated Oil™ developed
specifically for Rekluse products. Rekluse
Factory Formulated Oil is a perfect complement
to any OEM or aftermarket wet clutch. Visit
www.rekluse.com to learn more.
- Clutch Basket: Available for some models, a
Rekluse Clutch Basket will eliminate clutch
squeal and chatter in most cases because it is
precision machined from high quality material
and includes long-life clutch dampers. A clutch
basket that is damaged or has worn-out
dampers tends to increase clutch noise.
- Installed Gap: Adjusting the Installed Gap will
NOT affect clutch squeal or chatter
MAINTENANCE
- Maintain adequate free play gain, checking
before every ride and adjusting if necessary.
- Keep up with regular oil changes as per the
bike manufacturer’s recommendations. Clutch
function and longevity depends on oil quality.
- Inspect all of your clutch parts every 40 hours
for signs of wear or excessive heat, and replace
components as necessary.
- Repeat the break-in procedure anytime the
friction disks or EXP bases or wedges are
replaced. Always soak friction disks or EXP
bases in oil for at least 5 minutes before
installing.
