I am hoping someone can offer some insight into this.
A while back, the bike developed a bit of a whine whenever the clutch lever was pulled, there was also a small but noticeable pulse while riding in the friction zone.
A recent misfortune involving roadworks, stones, and a radiator has the bike up on the table and while the fairing is off, I thought it best to have a look at the clutch assembly.
And here is the problem, or possibly part of it, the Pull Rod(#46102) is nicely chewed up and the Release Lever(#13102) also looking a little bit shabby.
What causes this? Is it just these parts failing and in need of replacement, or a symptom of another problem?
When replacing these should I, as a matter of course replace anything else, needle bearings etc.
The bike is on 22000 kms, and prior to this, the clutch has not been opened.
