clutch noise ?

[jcasey]

I was at the dealer the other day having my wife's 2013 STS worked on. I have a noise kind of like a noisy throwout bearing in a car when I release the clutch in neutral. You can hear and feel it. The service manager said it was normal. Sense this is a hydraulic clutch would it have a throwout bearing? And is this normal. It is also more pronounced when it has been ridden for a while.:banghead:

That's not normal, only dry clutches rattle.

Don't know..!!

but I believe the STS does not have the hydraulic clutch. This only comes on the new 1330 ACE engine. There always is a change in sound when idling in neutal seeing as there is no load. The oil level and condition is important on these engines (998cc) but the sound change should not be a great one. Get some other opinions and or listen to others...:thumbup:

I have one on my 12' RS too.

Is this STS an auto or manual?
The noise your describing is not a normal sound.... at least not for the manual.

Wasn't clear with post. My wife has a STS and I have a 2015 F3S 1330 SM6 with the clutch noise!:banghead:

Missed that. :banghead: Not sure but there is quite a bit of chatter on clutchs on the F3's may just be the nature of the beast...:thumbup:

Mine also rattles in neutral when you let the clutch out and is also more pronounced after riding a while. I kinda figured it's just designed that way...
