I've just returned from an 800 miles trip to Southern England, and on the journey home I noticed the odd 'groan', 'squeal' from the clutch of my 3,800 miles Burger.
Now I am a great believer of some of the advice on this forum, and the 'blipping' of the throttle on take off, is a view that I buy.
Spin the clutch out fast, and try to stop the heat build up, from 'glazing' the clutch shoes.
I dropped in my scoot to my local (trusted) mechanic, and asked him to check for any glazing, and blow out any dust build up in the clutch.
He phoned me later and said he had found 2 rollers with flats worn on them, and did I want them replaced, or being as the bike was still under warranty, take it to the main dealer where I bought it,
I decided to take the £££'s hit being that the bike could be fixed for next day, and he did the job, and I was back riding, no problems the next day.
So my question is this......have I been 'over blipping' on take off, and by saving the clutch, actually put more wear on the rollers, or as a riding buddy suggested, maybe had a dust build up on the rollers, causing them to 'stick' and not revolve properly??
Any thoughts please guys?
