Title: Clutch shudder
Post by: scootnoob on May 21, 2012, 06:12:29 PM
Hi

Just like to now how many of you have had problems with clutch shudder. It's driving me crazy. If you never had this problem, please tell me your riding style ( hard or gentle on the throttle ).

By the way i'm from sweden and my english might not be the best :)

It's a feature, not a bug, unless you have the yamaha t-max (or the new piaggio bv350).

Pull in both brakes, open up the throttle and let the brakes out slowly to make the clutch
slip. 2-3 runs should take care of it.

Is it making any extra noise?

No extra noise. I have 3500 km on it but the problems started at 1200 km. Switched to a Malossi fly clutch but still the same s**t. My dealer doesn't care. He sais there is nothing wrong with it. F***ER!!!!!! Thinking about trying the dr pulley clutch. BTW I have a 2011 RI

I was going to say it may be a clutch pad spring that broke, but you said you have changed it. Is the inside of the clutch bell ok? Is it a shudder or is it something slipping? Inspect the drive train with the cover off wile the motor is running to see if you can see or hear something.  :-*
