Yamaha dt 125 clutch making a noise
-
@Calum thanks man but have you got any idea what it could be? It really doesn't sound healthy, I changed my oil to a much better one aswell and that didn't do anything but when I tried to source the problem out I found a weird Grey putty like kind of stuff in the casing so I don't know what that could be

A bearing wouldn’t sound loose. Have you checked the nuts on the crank gear, balancer shaft and clutch? These are the only ones that spin and have tightening nuts on them (I think!)...Does the noise change when you pull in the clutch lever? Or when you cycle through the gears?...
Looked at the magneto side?...

@SpookDog no it's a constant noise wether I pull the clutch in or not or wether I'm in gear or not obviously just can't hear it while I'm riding cause of the higher revs but when it idles or I stop at a red light it makes the noise I really can't figure it out another guy today told me that it's normal for a dt but it's weird that it only came after a month after I rebuilt it, it was quiet few days ago

Mine sounded like that when the piston was slapping. I don’t think that’s the case with yours, as yours still clicks as it dies. If your noise came on suddenly then it might be kick start related. Try moving the kickstart down a bit while the engine is running. Be careful though, please!! See if it alters the sound...
I can’t remember the ins and outs of the mechanism how the kickstart engages at the mo. I’ll look into it... -
@Calum but the noise is literally only coming from the clutch side, my guess is it's either something to do with the waterpump or even the flywheel, I'll put the cover off tomorrow and check the flywheel, I know on my mates husky hes flywheel key broke and it made a similar noise but I'll definitely get back to you guys as soon as I know something, really appreciate the time guys thank you
