Horrible Metal Scraping Sound

[Viney]

Its probably the clutch. I wouldnt say its like metal against metal sound, but a sort of groan, much like a deeper verison of when you used to have wet brakes on a pushbike?

hmmm yer maybe that sorta sound yer, i'm gonna go out at lunch and test what sort of revvs it happens at

Mine does that. Not all the time.

Yer its not all the time, seems more when i set out first time, once she's warm its all good. Ever looked into it?

Mine makes that noise when the engine isn't warmed up.

Solution: take it easy until the engine warms up.

Yep, Replaceds the Entire clutch (Basket, plates, steels, worm drive thingy, cable, bearing) still does it every now and again.

I have other issues with my clutch though.

Mine did that too, for a long time- only ever when it was fairly cold, so I put it down to something in the clutch sticking, it'd usually deliver the power with a jerk too. Replaced the clutch with one of my spares, which doesn't do the CRUNCH but does rattle a lot

if youre not sure what it is then get it checked out "metallic crunching noises" are never a good thing................better to spend £30 having someone look it over than £400 getting stuff fixed................

Hmmmm, yes it sounds like that's what it could be IMHO. See if you get the same result if you feather the clutch only not in 1st unless you do wheelies (disclaimer ). Starting off is the only time your clutch slips at that degree until it bites unless of course you do wheelies and then you might hear it again.

have you got yer steel toe caps on and ran over your own foot?
