clutch fixing

[bludclot]

i found some more time for this today and dismantled further. now that i'm this far i'm keen to fix the rattle that happend when my clutch lever is pulled in to the bar. it's not worryingly loud but it's not quiet either, my r6 certainly didn't rattle like it the clutch was silent! at the stage in the picture above the main basket seemed quite solid and rattle free. the inner clutch however rattled when i grabbed it and jiggled it about. so i took them both off hoping to find a loose or worn bearing. no such luck however.

my springs have all measured up short of the 50mm minumum that the haynes suggests so i'll order a new set. the plates all measure up within spec so unless you advise otherwise they'll be going back in. is this normal? (for the springs to wear before the plates)

so..... any ideas what causes a clutch to rattle when the lever is pulled to the bar? is it these springs in the back of the basket? 2 of them are tight and 2 of them are very loose and rattly.... in fact the gap at the end of the yellow one at 2 o'clock is quite visible.



or do i need to look elsewhere? i'm stuck now so hoping for help here.
