Hi all, I joined a while ago but not really had a lot to say,just been enjoying the TRX,but now I have a question I hope someone can help with,the bike seems to have developed a dull rattle when accelerating,seems to be coming from the right hand side of the motor,is particularly noticeable above 4000revs but disappears on a neutral or closed throttle.
I am thinking clutch related? but any theories,past experience would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, never mind, I think I may have a prime suspect,

Crikey! Any idea how that happened? Never seen anything like it before.

I'm hoping it's just down to old age/wear and tear, I am guessing they are the original plates and it is just coming up to 30000miles.

No,but I suppose I am not the smoothest/gentlest on the throttle,I have come to the TRX after a succession of KTM v'twins,I like to use lots of engine braking into corners and try to give it as much grunt as I dare on the way out.So maybe I've been a little rough on the old girl given that things like the clutch are probably 17years old.

Oh well,that wasn't the problem.
On the way home from work today the dull rattle escalated to a serious clattering and the motor locked up, me thinks it be fooked
