CBR600 F3 (96) Clutch question

that's true but if I put my ear down by mine I can still hear it,that and the clutch rattle slightly

mine went just after I bought the bike it was like a peg catching on a bike spoke,they replaced it free with an upgraded part and its been trouble free since
 
Lost the neutral light at lunch. Not sure if its electrical or whether this is another symptom of something in or around the clutch
 
It's not the bulb. It was on as soon as I got to the bike after work, and continued to work all the way home. I think it's a connection as the side stand light doesn't always light up either. I'll consult the service manual.....
 
Please please please WD the crap out of that clutch spring and then put proper grease on it, that's probably the cause of your grabby clutch.. either way it'll be so much easier to use
 
oh lol :/ thought you meant it worked all the way home and then stopped.

Guess it could be rusty/bad connection somewhere, hopefully something simple-ish like that.
 
you can still have a broken element inside that touches now and again,but check your wiring aswell at the clocks end and down by your gear lever,i think theres a tiny black neutral switch there,just might need a good clean
 
Well the good news is that I've fixed the the clutch issue! It wasnt actually being allowed to fully close. Turns out that although it felt like slack it was actually just very little resistance at the top and of the clutch. Once slackened off and tested the bike didnt creep forward!

I'll test again once warm to make sure though
 
I hope it's working but the fix doesnt make much sense.

Insufficient slack in the cable tends to make a clutch slip since it's always being held slightly open. Too much slack would make the clutch drag, since there's insufficient movement of the operating arm to fully open the clutch.
 
I've never tested when the bike has been cold so it could be that. If that's the case it's back to square one.

Checked what service history I have for the bike and can see that the clutch plates were changed without changing the springs back in 2014

Yeah the one in the pic is the best looking one...others just look like brown charcoal. For this reason I will be taking it to a garage for them to extract the studs
