2010 848 - anyone had this before? See photos. Any advice welcome. luckily inside of engine looks clean so have removed noise plate inside clutch casing to allow for more room as no idea why this is happening. All basket is tight etc.
Hi Winnie, i've never had an 848, and am aware that I am stating the obvious here, but is it possible that the sound-arrestor plate (item 14) has been fitted the wrong way round? memory hazy, but seem to remember some people even leaving both of these off?
Yes. Ive had similar on my 1198. But that had a slipper. And one of the spring posts had become undone snd unwound a bit.
They often chafe a bit all around the spring housing on a dry clutch for sure, usual even more so on after market pressure plate/drum/springs surprise surprise, but never had this produce the size of "swarf" the OP has on his wet.
Very interesting point. Although unsure why an earth anyone would have ever removed it and replaced it incorrectly. Have now removed it completely. Many thanks
hard to say from parts diagram above, and wish they had made a bigger effort to help with orientation, but does look as though "ribs" face outward/away from bike - i.e. opposite to your picture.
I don't know full details, but can you find something to back that up? - looks as though it secures on centre bore, in which case, in theory, could still secure when reversed, This needs someone who has removed/assembled these correctly to comment.
On the old dry clutches it is not uncommon for the large 'star/snowflake' shaped washer to eat into the hub, meaning the hub is not held back as far as it should be. The force of the springs then pulls the entire hub assembly outwards and reduces the force applied to the clutch, presumably this would make the clutch slip eventually? It happened on my 916, it was around a couple of mm outwards (but could be pushed back in), so much that the spring retainers started rubbing against the cover. Being an open cover it was very obvious and so I caught it before serious damage was done. Now I have no idea how the wet clutches are made so could be talking out of my arse but, is it possible something similar can occur?
Thank you for your reply. There is play in the main clutch shaft by at least 0.5mm but the springs can’t make the clutch basket move outward as they can only move within the bolts that go through them. it’s going to be an engine drop and strip sadly, as expecting shimmings worn somewhere. I’ll keep you posted.
