Hi all,

I've had my L3's clutch apart to check for wear on the plates (they were OK) and having put it back together notice there is a bit of up and down play if I grab the clutch basket and pull upwards - it's maybe a couple of mm. No obvious signs of the needle roller bearing having collapsed - it doesn't feel rough and there aren't any odd noises coming from it.

Does anyone know if this is normal please - or if I need to take the basket off to check the needle roller bearing for wear?

Grateful for any advice please.

Hi moonfire..
My L1 after a thrash around oulton park recently developed a rattly sound ( unless the clutch lever was pulled in ).
Since then i have and still got the ZX in various parts of dismanteling.
I have had the clutch plates out and measured them, found them below service level so bought a complete kit recently ( awaiting arrival ) friction and steel plates with heavy duty springs from weemoto

When i first took the cover off, i also noticed a bit of free play in the houseing, like you only 1-2mm and was wondering if the roller bearing had given in or washer/s needed replaceing ?
Be nice to have input on this question, to see IF this movement is normal ?

Ive also bought a clutch holder and when that arrives i will take of the hub and check for ware damage on the roller bearing or various washers, before checking/ re torqueing the main nut up once the new plates and springs are fitted

If no other answers to our question, i will let you know once the clutch on mine is all done..
Unless you have sussed it out already going off the date you posted

If it doesnt rattle, theres something wrong with it. Quite normal for it to make a noise on the zxr.

Many thanks, both. Came to the same conclusion.


Kind regards,
