ducpainter,

Can you elaborate when you say "spare beveled steel disc"? Is this a clutch disc? Do you have a part number?

Thanks in advance!

The package says disco bombato driven disc.  p/n 067516530.

This fixed my grabby ?slipper? (the words just don't sound right together) clutch - all smooth now.  

edit:  I was wondering if over time, the frictions wear to the beveled disc and you lose the spring action.  If that were the case, would flipping the beveled disc over restore the spring action?

I had a similar chattering or groaning sound on an 07 S2R 1K on 1st gear takeoffs only. When I replaced the stock springs with Speedy Moto springs, the sound disappeared.

However, last night (1000 mi. after the new springs were installed) I noticed a completely different, new sound. It's a chirping sound that only occurs when the motor is warmed up

My thoughts were to take the clutch apart, clean it, and replace the bearing. The bike only has 5,500 miles on it and hasn't been ridden hard.

Any suggestions?

My s2r1k chirps sometimes too. Not bad but its there. Im gonna clean it soon and see if that does anything. It started groaning and chirping a bit, and then i had the 6k service done. After my 6k service, it was completely gone until recently. Im at 8k now. A fluid thing maybe? Im not hard on the clutch at all. Am i letting the clutch out to slowly?

I have put about 2k on it since i last cleaned the clutch. when i cleaned it the first time, just before my service, it was NASTY!!!! Before i put my shiny new speedymoto pressure plate on, I blew the clutch out with an air compressor and my buddy was like, "Hold your breath dude, that shit is soooo bad to inhale."

I briefly browsed some other threads and it looks like there are some possible solutions.

Im gonna put up a tiny little sign on the cover that says, "No Birds Allowed!" Ill see if this works and report back.  [thumbsup]
