Question about Noise while releasing clutch / Clutch Jitter / judder / Grinding noise

[Journeyman]

I replaced mine at 46,000 miles while doing the 40K service (a little late). The friction plates were still well within spec, but it appeared that the anti-judder ring had worn a groove into one of the plates. Given the time and effort to get to them I decided to go ahead and replace everything while in there. No more judder and definitely smoother shifting.

I did a video on the 20/40K service (valve check, valve adjustment, timing adjustment, clutch change and bleed, fuel and air filter, and spark plug renewal ).
The clutch replacement is at 10:08......

Unfortunately, I think it's only sold in a kit.

i can try buying hayabusa one as they are same but please can you confirm if i can get away with not changing whole clutch plates and just that one single ring?

If all else is well, I don't see why not. Even with 18K I'd still measure the friction plates and inspect them for wear- probably fine though. Yeah, if you can match exactly the judder ring and the plate that is grooved I would think that would do it.

plz do you have picture of judder ring? or can you post it again or mark it from your video where is it ? so I can send it to seller and get only exact same judder ring?

thanks

There looks to be a lot of work to get to the judder ring. If it were me, I'd put a whole new clutch pack in while I was in there.....but then again, I haven't priced them. ha ha

About $260 so not to bad considering how much motorcycle parts seem to be these days. I have the same thought process, its not like the clutch is on the side of the bike and can be done in half an hour. If you're doing all that work, might as well replace the whole kit. Then again some people have more time than money.

For that price, it would be a no brainier for me to just replace everything.

at 10:57 you can see the judder ring inside one of the larger diameter friction plates. Then at 11:06 you see the channel where the judder ring carved a groove in one of the steel plates.

You should also check out @Protonhound's posts #178 and #180 which show the ring. He has some YouTubes, as well. As far as I know, he was the first to tear into the 2.5 clutch, for which he should be credited. It seems very few riders are willing to do much of their own work on these bikes. When I had the Roadster there was a ton of wisdom from members here who thought nothing of maintaining or modifying their bikes.
