Noise from clutch on 2007 R1

[pip1965]

Can anyone tell me what this is, it only makes this noise when i pull the clutch in.
The issue is, I have just got the bike back after an accident and the mechanical sound from the clutch area was not there prior so it will be going back.
Any ideas?

Link worked fine for me. In a 'normal' clutch I would say it's the thrust bearing as it only happens when you have the clutch disengaged (lever in) from what I could see. Not sure though if an R1 clutch would have a thrust bearing as such but it's definitely something in that area. In any event, it certainly isn't right lol.

daveO it worked for a little while then internet explorer stopped working,maybe something wrong with my computer as burger didnt have a problem,but what i did hear didnt sound right(rubbing clicking sound?)would suggest somethings adrift within the clutch,was the clutch housing damaged in the accident?would certainly take it back if they have done some repairs in this area.

That doesn't sound right! I had a similar problem on one of my bikes and turned out to be the bolt holding the spring in worked loose - it did cause some damage to the inside of the casing but not too much. Could also be damage to the clutch basket - I would just it checked asap to prevent any further damage

Its going back to 4th dimension who do the repairs for Bennetts.
It has taken then 54 days to return the bike.
I think the clutch housing area was the point of impact when the car reversed into my parked bike.
All runs OK and looks 100% new again but with this clicking/ticking.
Dont fancy it failing at speed
'Tomorrows cancelled'
should get it back by march lol

Thanks for the info I don’t think I will use Bennetts, that’s a crap service.

Hope you don’t have to wait to long this time, will they provide you with a hire bike to save you buying a stand in machine?

sounds very similar to what mine does, i have 2000miles on the clock. Spoke to george whites about it as well as R1 forums and apparantly its a common sound with slipper clutches. Not sure mine is as loud as that tho and doesnt always do it

Never noticed any clutch noise on my 2007 R1 I had. Worth getting checked out though.
