TIP:

After assembling the clutch assembly, a noise like
a dry-type clutch might occur with the gear position
in neutral and half clutch. The pressure plate makes
chattering noise by the clutch dragging and noise
occurring between the pressure plate cam and the
clutch boss cam.This noise will disappear after riding
a few miles as the amount of engine oil between the
clutch plate and friction plate is reduced to optimum
amount by clutch operation.
