clutch rattle when pulled in

[VJ]

got my gsx11g engined rat on the road now and am playing with jetting (on a private road occifer )

Ive noticed Its a bit of a pain to get into neutral unless moving and has a clutch rattle when the lever is in and the engine is warm.

 

Anything i need to do here? Ive bodged the pushrod length because the whole thing is a bitsa so I may have that too short but I dont feel any drag with the lever in.

 

Cheers

Strange for it to rattle with the lever in, worn basket maybe ?  If you need to balance your carbs to help things, I have a set of gauges and can do them for you.

My help, I've put a b12 slave on Miss W gsxr1100, (so the old slave had the smaller piston, think the sizes where 32mm in stead of the now 40mm may be well out on the size ) 

Anyway, now found that the gsxr1100 is a real pain to get into neutral, but before went in nice and easy, so going to put a longer push for in.

Before anybody ask/says, the reason I put the b12 one in is because I could not find out which model the smaller piston slave was off, as all the deal kits had the bigger piston size  and yes it's a Suzuki one

I wouldntbe surprised if the hydraulic distance was wrong because ive no doubt got the wrong slave cyl and also a zzr11 master.

Ive got a balance set so ill give that a go blue, ta.

Miss W is using a zx9r clutch master with no problems, well till I change the slave 

[johnr]

if its got the pushrod, have you added a ball bearing to help stop it all spinning and drilling a hole through the piston?

[VJ]

Isnt the need for that removed as theres a pushrod at both ends so they spin on each other inside the cases?

[wraith]

A ball bearing is used when you're doing the downside clutch conversion on the oil cooled motors (in Frankenstein's bit) not needed on a standard motor/clutch.

[VJ]

Ah this motor has always been hydraulic so no worries there.

 

I balanced the carbs yesterday and didnt hear the rattle on a quick test run, i was concentrating more on the carburettion at the time though

[VJ]

balanced carbs and a few more miles on the clock seem to have sorted it. Ive only just got this one on the road and im not sure how long it had sat so the clutch could have been a little sticky, its deffo not as on/off as it first was now anyways.
