Flyin_Shee Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hold your kickstart still and see if the sound stops. Do you have enough oil in your tranny? Is it the right weight, maybe that could cause noise from it being too thin or thick? Idk...just throwing ideas out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodbanshee Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Hey guys I think i may have found whats been making that knocking, rattling noise. I pulled off my engine side cover and notice the clutch basket was loose. I then pulled the pressure plate and clutch fibers and plates off. The clutch basket has a lot of slack, it feels like the basket is loose on the gear or loose on the shaft like a bushing is out. The clutch boss is tight, with no slack whatsoever. I am going to pull the nut off tomorrow and remove the clutch boss and basket. Has anyone ever had a basket get loose or wear out? Is there a bushing inside the basket that turns on the shaft? Is this an easy fix? Edited January 4, 2005 by hotrodbanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still has a noise. I can't say it's the same as yours, but I thought I'd let you know. The basket bushing do wear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodbanshee Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Pulled off the clutch basket today. The big gear that is connected to the clutch basket rotates back and forth a little bit. Is that normal or should it be tight and not have any slack at all. I noticed that the basket is connected with 4 rived type studs to the big primary driven gear and can not be tightened. My clymer manual does not show anything on being able to take the basket off the gear. Also there is a brass bushing inside the clutch housing that slides over a spacer on the shaft and there is a little play there. I would like to replace the bushing, but yamaha does not sell a replacement, you have to buy the whole clutch housing for $163.00 What do I do? Is this normal? Should I just put it back together and run her. Edited January 5, 2005 by hotrodbanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightrider Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 if the gear rotates a bit on the clutch basket,the rubber cushions are worn out.a billet clutch basket has new ones,and replacement bolts for the rivets I'll second that,I had an engine that had an aftermarket basket installed and the screws were never fully tighted,the loctite set in before they torqued the bolts down.It made all kinds of noise. I hear the stock baskets are known for the rivets giving out over time,sounds like that happend to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
