Yamaha dt 125 clutch making a noise
-
Take a video of it, post it on YouTube then give us a link so we can listen in, bud...
Really need to hear exactly what you mean... -
Hi all, I have a old yamaha dt 125r 1983 that I rebuilt and converted to motard but I have only been riding it for a month with no problems till the other day I heard my clutch is making a bad noise almost like something is lose but when I opened my clutch I saw everything was fine besides my notched basket, could it be that the clutch is run in? I don't think it could be but some people said it's possible, just really annoying when I idle the bike it has that lose noise but it hasn't done anything to the power or problem starting, everything seems right and works fine it's just it has that noise
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

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... -

Definitely needs investigating that. Sounds like some gear rubbing on the housing.

@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

Dude, check the throw-out cog on the kickstart shaft. It sounds like it’s not disengaging properly...wrote on 28 Oct 2020, 15:15 last edited by@SpookDog I actually turned the Kickstarter while the bike was idling and normally it would make a noise but it didn't so I actually do think it might be that,I'll get a new gasket and pull the casing off to check the Kickstart shot man

Sweet , it’s definitely that, keep us informed. I like to know when things actually work out...wrote on 28 Oct 2020, 20:48 last edited by@SpookDog will definitely keep you posted, yes I'm also sure it's that just gotta take a look at it the weekend, it shouldn't damage anything right? Just for 2 days I need to use the bike for work so it needs to wait till Saturday

I wouldn't ride it with that sound.
And LC engines have got to be hard to come by now surely.

Definitely sounds like something (a gear cog) is rubbing somewhere.
And there was nothing untoward about the engine? Nothing was lose inside? No metal filings in the oil?
