Ive noticed after a run my clutch starts to make a strange rumble noise, if I pull the clutch lever in the noise stops, when I let go it returns, I can only describe it as a "rumble". It isnt there when I first start from cold but is after a few miles.  Any ideas?? |

Have you had to adjust the clutch recently? If so it might mean the nut that holds it onto the shaft could be coming loose.
If not, it could just be that the gears (which are constant mesh so spin all the time when the clutch is engaged) are noisier when the oil is hot and thinner. Or it could be that one of the bearings in the gearbox is on the way out.

Im going for the hot and thinner oil option cause theres no probs changing gear and the clutch works fine, is it an issue or something I can live with??

It's only an issue if it gets worse!

Being an expert on having the clutch thrust bearing destroy itself I'm concerned that yours is on its way out  . Graham. |

I have exactly the same issue only with mine plus sometimes it will not engage into neutral..Not sure if it is an adjustement issue or worn parts though...  |
