Can anyone advise on whay a clutch would be noisy, when the clutch lever is pulled in the noise goes away. This noise was noticed after a replacement clutch fitted?

hey martin,
what oil and how much are you using? it is easy not to get the correct amount in there.
for the record you know my engine has been fully overhauled, I cant say I can specifically hear the clutch, but when I pull the lever there is a tiny difference in noise, so it is possibly just normal, especially if you have fitted a new clutch.
best regards
john

Pulling the clutch definitely reduces KIPS rattle, for some unknown reason. Could that be what you are hearing?

did you get your new piston and cylinder re-lined martin? did you have the kips apart for cleaning, replace any old seals etc?
possibly as julien says.

Thanks for the input, quality as always! John not put the motor back together yet or had piston etc done, while i have it apart i thought i would question this as i remeber it as always being a noise that stood out. But good point regarding the kips, Can't say 100% that it was clutch noise, just though it might be because the engaged clutch reduced the rattle noise (nearly completely).
