Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech clutch buying info

I have 25,000 miles on muy speedy and I keep hearing a bad noise from the clutch area on take off. So I would guess my clutch is on the way out. I have not been nice to it eather. I would like to put the heavier duty one in because I will be doing HP pistions and can in a year or two. My question when buying clutch stuff ddo I just need the springs and friction plates or do I need all the plates and springs. And where is the best place to get them. Most of my business go to fast eddy

At what part of the hand lever release does the clutch start to engage now and how old is your trans to r. wheel (drive) chain? We have been hearing from members about noises from mid bike on back and the resolution has been predominately a worn out chain. As far as the clutch rehab, You could ascertain F Eddy has the parts ready to ship and hold back until you have it apart. The next stage springs have squared away a lot of clutch slippage problems for me and others. The OEM springs as they come, have a fairly mild spring rate, IMO.

I put a new cable this year and adjust the lever to my liking and it catches mid to top of leaver

Seems like your plates may have some wear, still doesn't explain the noise though. Clutches, thankfully aren't that expensive if you do the labor.
