[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 623203, member: 20098"] I had exactly the same when I fitted a new clutch last year (Kennedy stage 1, uprated fork). I wasn’t happy with how the clutch fork looked when fitting but in my haste to put it back together, I didn’t bother to check that the release ‘prongs’ were actually parallel and therefore driving the bearing straight against the pressure plate. Lo and behold, when first used, I had the same whirring which turned into a rotational squeak when keeping my foot on the pedal. My intention was to hope that it lasted the season and that I’d strip it after, but within a few hundred miles, the noise vanished, and I’ve not had any more noises out of the ordinary since. So I’ve got no idea if the release bearing / pressure plate needed to bed themselves in, but I’m just leaving it be and fingers crossed I’ve got no reason to believe that it is now going to imminently fail. Next time the engine is out I will be giving it a thorough going-over to see if there is anything obvious wrong now that it has a few thousand miles on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
