Recently been hearing and feeling a bit of strange rumbling from the clutch on my bike when it is idling. It goes away if I pull in the clutch lever though. It makes the engine sound quite lumpy and can affect the tick over slightly, but as soon as I pull in the lever the engine sounds really smooth so its definitely the clutch. Is this normal or does it mean time for a new clutch? The clutch feels alright when being used, can be a bit weak feeling when pulling away in 1st but changing gear is mostly alright not quite as slick as some bikes ive ridden though and have to concentrate on the changes more.
I also removed the baffle on my new Mivv can today, its the first time ive ever had on aftermarket can on a bike and the difference was pretty huge. Baffle in was a nicer tone than standard but a bit quiet, so I took it out and it is so beefy sounding. Not obscenely loud, but still quite loud. I love the sound but am a bit worried about police and stuff...What is the actual penalty for getting pulled over for it im guessing a small fine? If you carry the baffle and put it in at the roadside would they let you off? Where I live the majority of people who own bikes that have aftermarket cans don't run them with the baffles in, some are far louder than mine is, so I'm assuming its fairly relaxed as long as you're careful. Bike still runs lovely anyway, no change whatsoever and I havent checked the plugs or anything but engine has no flat spots and performs exactly the same so that is a relief.
