    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Kz550 clutch noise

Working on the guys KZ550 to replace the starter clutch and get it running. Got starter clutch swapped out and rebuilt the carbs. Also rebuilt the clutch dampner rubbers per a tutorial on KZ RIDER. So test ride everythings great except theres a buzzing coming from the clutch as i start to release the lever and it goes away when i pull in the clutch. It sounds a lot like the sound a whining speedometer can make.
So im thinking clutch hub bearing or new friction plates and steals, What say you guys?? Ed Ness??

EDIT.. I shoud add the buzzing noise continues throughout the gears but changes as lever is squeezed
