tapping sound? - David Walmsley - 01-01-2015
Just seeing if anyone has experienced the same thing. On cold start up when riding as soon as i pull the clutch lever in im getting a tapping sound and feel from the clutch housing and sound stops when the bike comes to a stop but as the bike gets warmer it goes away. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

There can be a problem with the spring retainers on the clutch, 08 needed checking later ones not so much, but this has been an occasional issue right from 99 and worth a look any time you get a noise from that area

I will be looking in to that today. Thanks Maj.

As above. My '10 had the same issue. Easy fix all described above.
Just as a note when tightening; They only require around 10Nm torque.

Don't think it was ever an official recall in AU but my 07 built and registered K8 B-Kings were pulled out and checked anyway...
