    clutch play off?

    Hey all,

    I was inspecting my bike for a buzzing sound (trying to pinpoint where the sound was coming from) while running the engine and noticed that the rear wheel while on the center stand (and in neutral) would begin to rotate a small amount when I revved the engine. It wasn't from vibration, it seemed more deliberate and constant. I would guess the speed of rotation would make the tire move one full revolution in about 20-30 seconds at ~5k rpm.

    Is this normal for the clutch play or does it need to be loosened?
    The training of Karate is the training in self-control, humbleness, and discipline in conduct. The attainment of this supreme perfection requires the greatest of patience to fully master.

    Normal, The clutch still drags slightly while out of gear When the oil is cold, the spin will be a lot more noticable than when its hot.
    If its not broke, Hit it with a bigger hammer and blame it on cheap imports

        Not all to sure about rear wheel spinning on center stand, however Neutral should be neutral. minor clutch cable adjustment may fix this issue, check threads for how to's.

          Your winters aren't as cold as mine, but if you wheel the bike out in the middle of winter and put it on the center stand and fire 'er up, it'll spin like the dickens. After the oil has warmed up, it will stop.
