Re: Clutch Issues
Sounds like the throw-out bearing. Trail riding dusty roads or mud holes
causes more noise. That dust (or mud) will creep up into the bell housing
and get in the throw-out bearing. While in neutral try pushing the clutch
pedal just a little... puts a bit of pressure on the throw-out bearing. If
the noise stops, that's it.

Re: Clutch Issues
Eric, according to my local dealer, "they all do that." I seem to remember
something about a TSB on the transmission. The clutch squeak (like a hoot
owl?) was something else i have experienced...after numerous attempts to
make it go away, the dealer finally replaced the clutch master cylinder.

Re: Clutch Issues
That's what happens. If I press in the clutch pedal it goes away. Ok, my
next question, can I let this go until one day my clutch doesn't work or do
I need to get it fixed to prevent more costly repairs?
