I'm going to be tearing into the clutch soon enough but wanted to see if anyone might have some insight before I do. This is on my 2005 ZX6R (636) track bike with 26,351 miles on it. Most of those were street before it became my track whore this past February.
Last couple track weekends I noticed that my clutch was chattering like a Ducati at idle, letting the bike warm up before going out. Bike rides fine, no clutch slipping or grabbing or anything unusual. The chatter would greatly lessen after a session and everything was nice and hot but still be slightly noticeable. Pulling the clutch lever in and the chatter would stop. Taking up the slack in the clutch lever but not pulling it in and you could feel the chatter thru the clutch lever.
I'm thinking the clutch is maybe dying or I might need to tighten the springs or something, won't really know until I take the cover off.
Any thoughts? Anyone ever see something similar?
) all of them being the ZX-10 both 1st and 2nd Gen. I noticed if they had synthetic in it, they were rattling....as soon as I switched from syn to regular oil....no noise. It's just a suggestion and a cheap one to check before tearing into it.
