Hi all
My SP has about 13k miles on rebuild, all the clutch parts were replaced, down to the flywheel. Last year the clutch started to act up at about 8k miles. A Canadian rider I met at the National in Salida said that it was the throw out bearing. Replaced it and it seemed to improve for a while but then the symptoms came back. Since the symptoms occur after the bike is fully warm I think I wasn't paying close attention. Not sure why the bearing replacement would make a difference anyway, except if it had little chunks of metal floating about in it. What happens is, after it's warmed up, is that, when I pull in the clutch lever, the clutch remains engaged for an extra second or two. The clutch engages abruptly as well. No smooth feathering. I have an idea what it might be but I'd like some feedback. All the cables and rear actuation lever seem to be adjusted correctly.
thanks,
