Hello all,
Today I had disaster strike me on the way to work. Halfway through my 20 mile ride my engine decided to make a loud metal clanking noise and then the engine sounded quieter and wouldn't stay idling. It had super slow acceleration, and had a clanking sound when accelerating.
I am currently in the process of disassembling the engine to see if the oil slinger came off or if I lost a ring or something. There was no metal in the oil when I drained it. I took off the hoot gearbox and saw that my clutch pads were literally nothing and that one spring had broken off. I found a pile of black dust when I first took off the gearbox and it got all over the floor.
The thing is, the engine made the loud clanking noise first and then about another mile later the clutch didn't grab on and make the bike move anymore. Two separate problems in one day.
My question is, does anybody have an idea of what I should be looking for disassembling the engine to find out what the noise was that is causing poor engine performance? Are clutch pads supposed to be completely disintegrated in 200 miles? Or is there any others that are more durable because replacing clutch pads every 200 miles would be ridiculous.
