i have a 2000 750 ducati monster its my first one and i would like to know if is normal to hear a tap! noise when i shift the gears, its most common to happen in the lower ones 1st, and 2nd gear and i dont know how many miles i have cause i bought it without the instrumental gauge if u guys know who is selling one or any other one that fits thanks! [coffee]
make sure the chain is not too tight or the clutch not disengaging fully.
thanks i know how to check the chain but wath about the clutch [thumbsup]
With the wet clutch you'll get a pronounced *thunk when going into 1st from N. Since the wet clutch transfers a tiny bit of power to the rear wheel, even when the plate stack is separated. As a result, you'll get a little thuk in the drive line.
To see if the clutch is fully disengaging go in and out of neutral with the bike running at a stand still . It you have a hard time getting neutral then you may have air in your clutch hydraulics ,or as YUU said it may be oil sticking the clutch pack together.
so that means on a wet clutch is normal to hear the tunk" sound?
some times . If the clutch is not disengaged then the dogs will catch up with each other and engage harshly.
