clutch squall

[98_330ex]

hi im new to the website here and i have built this 330 motor and rode it for a few months and now the clutchs are squalling now but they dont slip its crazy they are fairly new clutches they were just put in when i got the bike and supposidly heavy duty so should i worry about it or ride on.


thanks in advance!

did you soak the new fiber disc in oil before you installed them.

the clutches were already installed in the bike when i got it is there any way to tell if they have been soaked in oil

thanks

no way to tell. all clutch disc should be soaked in oil over night before they are installed.

so could i pull it a part and try it ?

see what puzzles me is when i first built it. it never made this squalling sound so if it was them not being soaked wouldnt it do it from the start and will it hurt to keep riding it?

Thanks for your help!

The clutch plates in those are arranged as carbon fiber plate followed by a steel clutch plate and so on. Sometime the steel clutch plates will heat up and bend a little causing the clutch to squall, this is completely normal and won't cause any troubles unless you wan't to fix it, it's an easy fix. Also this may not even be happening, the 300ex clutches all squall a little with age, I have a 2006 and mine is beginning to squall a little but it is normal. I wouldn't worry about it unless yur bike takes off on you with the clutch completely in when you pop it in gear.

If you have put grease on them the grease may also just be cold and causing the plates to catch a little, not probable though.
