Let's make it clear... I'm mechanically disabled for everything basically, except maybe oil/filter swap, but I'm really sensitive when it comes to noises, vibrations...
Long story short...
I had problems shifting into lower gears, like most of us, but one of this times, simple greasing was not enough.
20kkm service... My dealer replaced oil/filter with a Motul V300 10-40W.
Little after I felt strange vibes speeding up from zero. Kind of like you almost stalled it but got away. Hm... Shifting was still crappy.
Soon after I went to give it a quick wash. I put it on the stand and kicked in the first gear to spin the wheel a little so I could clean it with hp. To my surprise i found out that the wheel is spinning with the clutch fully engaged. When I say spinning I mean really fast.
What the hell... Then i start realizing other issues. Shifting into first was chunkier then usual, and I could felt that my precious wanted to move slightly ahead. Damn...
I reported it to my dealer, but I still decided to do the oncoming 3000km trip. I had hotels booked and I couldn't open it for check up at that instant.
Nothing really happened on the trip. Same vibes, same shifting issue. No clutch slipping whatsoever.
Now that I'm out of country for the work, I left it with my trusty dealer.
And this is what they found.
It's not that I don't trust them, I just trust your expertise more.
Info I've got just hours ago, is that the plates are not consumed but they are "dry"... Carbonized i guess they said.
They suggested to replace them.
It's hard to judge from this pics, but still... Tell me what you think...
Possible causes are two!
1.
I was told that this inner part of the clutch was so dry that was not releasing the clutch properly, though I never felt it.
Hp washer... My favorite...
Is it possible?? Hm...
2.
One of my" trusted" tuners replaced all my rubber hoses for the steel ones...
My dealer found out this...
Was loose...
They checked the system and...
Found Traces of air in it. According to them, that could also cause the trouble.
Really??
Now, he told me to stay put till tomorrow morning... He will try to do something with the plates... Didn't want to tell me what... What could it be?
Any body with a similar problem?
Anyway, I'll order new set from Riders Discount. Just in case, and I will replace them on next oil change.
EBC is the brand... Are they good to go?
Thanks in advance for your help.
