Ged Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hey guys! Just a quick question how can you tell if your burning the clutch? It's just everytime when I go to a slower speed and then steadily feather the clutch just to find the biting point so I can position the bike to park it for example. I can smell something it might just be me being silly. I'm still a new rider I'm just wandering if anyone would have an idea? I just don't wanna damage my bike.Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Snod Blatter Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Wet clutches can take a lot of abuse because the oil cools them, and it'll also keep the smoke in so you don't notice it I'd suggest it's just something getting hotter than normal because you're revving it while almost stationary, exhaust perhaps?

fastbob Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Don't worry about damaging the bike . The clutch is a consumable part that can easily be replaced . I've burned out a few clutches in my time but I can't say that I've ever smelt one burning . £28 ! That's ridiculously cheap . The last clutch I had to buy was £185 . No special tools needed to fit it either by the looks of things . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyefxr Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Remove the oil filler cap and take a sniff, is it the same smell? When a clutch burns out it really does stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
