jeremygsxr Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 my tranny has been making a click whenever I clutch a wheelie, and friday night I cracked one off as I went passed a car then a constant click started. I rode home (1 or 2 minutes away) and it did it all the way home. It goes with the speed of the bike, more speed faster click, any ideas?It's not kicking out of gear.

schmuckingham Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Possibly a clutch spring going dry when vertical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremygsxr Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 it's doing it while on 2 wheels now.I had the fairings off too see if it was just a loose sprocket, but not the case. I am going to ride her a little tomorrow to see if it's still doin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd second the sound as potentially being a spring coming loose, espically if it is related to rotational speed. Could be a disc problem as well, hard to diagnose without tearing into it though.Clutch slipping any? Miles on clutch? Oil level still good? Last oil change?If long wheelies are a common thing for you, oil starvation could also be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Do you have an old chain. Old dry chains like to click... It be nice if it was that simple. ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 couldnt it be like the throw-out bearing? maybe not since its constant with or without the clutch engaged? wild-edic-fail guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've had an old chain sound exactly like that. A lil bit of clicking at first..then worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremygsxr Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 new chain last year, oil change less than 200 miles ago. it is a rotational sound and its coming from the sprocket area. long wheelies are pretty common but it's not o motor tick.I have to go to work so I cant tear into it now. I want to ride it again to see if i can get a better idea of the sound location.Man i need to get a bike stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremygsxr Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 well I just took a trip up the street. here is what it does. during acceleration and maintaining speed its ok, but in nuetral (rolling) and when the clutch is in, it knocks (not a click) and i can feel it with my left foot on the peg.i pushed it out on the road and its doing it about every 1 tire rotation. it barely does it if I roll backwards.man i need to buy a stand.

gixxie750 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Maybe its just a loose front sprocket. They can come loose sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Uhmm if your feeling it on your left footpeg then it sounds like a sprocket/chain issue and not a clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremygsxr Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 oh yeah it's not the front sprocket, that was the first thing I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
