Clutch Ideas?
Hi!
This weekend i am going to be fixing the hum in my release bearing - since im there i was looking at getting a new clutch put in. Has anyone got any reccomendations? Im wanting something other than stock, that will be practical for daily use but will be able to handle a few kicks here - when im happy with what i have ill eventually be wanting to learn to control it on skid pads etc.
Also, my old clutch has about half its life left in it, if anyone wants it for a cheap price!

First thing, I wouldn't worry about the hum in the release bearing, just about every mx will get one.
Clutch wise, if you are running stock power I see no reason to go for anything other than an OE replacement?

Uh oh haha. If it comes up again I suggest checking. Cole suggested I look into it. It has been.gerting worse over time, started as a hum, then a whine, now squeals.authentic wrote:So thats what that squeal was... I had it when downshifting every now and again. I haven't heard the noise for months now though, so I'm not sure if I should be worried or happy.

Mine was quite intermittent, and it was only ever a squeal. Haven't heard it since last year though so fingers crossed.TehAshleigh wrote:Uh oh haha. If it comes up again I suggest checking.
