    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    Thanks for leading the way on this- makes it easier on the rest of us when we take it on. I'm past due, but keep getting warm spells here. Sounds like you've solved the jitters. Interesting that some people with relatively low miles report this issue too. Something is off in the design for...

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    Is that groove wear or machined? I could look at my replacement kit, but others will also want to know.

    Glad it's not just me that does some dumb $hite from time to time. :thumbsup:

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    Given how sensitive mc clutches are to lubricants, I don't know that I'd use that so close to those plates- true that it would circulate in oil when used on sim buckets and camshafts (which I've done), but... Listen in to see what others think, maybe, before doing that. Maybe it's fine.

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    Remind us how many miles you have on the bike and what the caliper readings are on the plates when you get to that

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    How does the steel plate look that is against the anti-judder ring- worn?

    Yellow?

    I'd say if you love the color go for it! Different is good and different from different is even better! One reason I ride a Rocket is that it isn't a Harley. Everyone and their brother rides the same under-performing bike with matching pickup truck and Harley sticker, T-shirt, ad nauseam....

    Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

    @rick danger is correct on the above- it isn't your bolts coming loose, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to check those from time to time. Rick, you also recommended some kind of mechanical backup to the JB Weld earlier. I had an idea that didn't work using a nut and lock washer because of...

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    I use Motul too and also did in the Roadster. I don't think that's it. Interested to see if this is what happened to yours too... The best explanation in this thread, so far, is from @TheFALCON (appears to be no longer active here) who said..... "the anti judder spring had made a deep groove...

    Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

    That's a good idea. If, or when, this fails I'll try that or something similar :thumbsup:

    Question about Noise while releasing clutch

    This is what we're trying to figure out. We'll see if it goes away once @Protonhound has replaced his clutch. The best explanation in this thread, so far, is from @TheFALCON (appears to be no longer active here) who said..... "the anti judder spring had made a deep groove into the steelplate...

    Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

    I have a temp reader like the one above. I'll probably bolt the shield on once the epoxy fully cures and go for a long ride. Then, do some shake and pull test'n and also hit the headers with the heat reader to see where it's at. :thumbsup: I'm not super confident, but cautiously optimistic.
