Grumble

Post by stormingjoe »

Clutch in nice and quiet in neutral, clutch out I can just make out a light grumble from the primary drive/gearbox shaft area only notice now that I got some DB killers in the exhaust. Just wondering if normal as twins do tend to give out unusual noises!

Last engine didn't do it, this one does, it was newer and had less miles. Go figure.
All Hondas are a bit susceptible to a little clutch slap, ignore it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
