Noisey Clutch

Post by Damien666 »

Just bought my first VTR and happy with it apart from the noisey clutch. Is this common on VTRs or do I have a problem. Any info would be appreciated. :?

If it's a sort of rattle thats there when idling and goes away when you pull the clutch in then yes, thats fairly normal.

Just did a quick search for this subject.........i am new here too and was wondering about a slight clutch rattle when idling that goes when u pull the lever in......sounds like its a common prob.....not just with storms but other big hondas too. ( i have a friend with a blade that does the same thing ) :D

Yep, rattles a bit until lever pulled in, always has, both engines.
