I've been think for a while on this, even mentioned it in passing to the small local bike shop, the two questions that came up were -
I've only noticed the dry plate problem on this bike because of the squealing when slipped under duress, the annoying thing is no other FZS1000 I have had has done the squealing thing. At the time I spoke to Yamaha tech explained I swapped the entire clutch inc. bearings and I still get the noise. I'm leaning towards the dry clutch plates causing the noise etc, but I am now hesitant to drill holes in something as serious and important as the clutch hub. @ the OP -
- what do you do, are you an engineer? what made you confident that your mod was going to wreck the engine or blow up in your face..?
To falcon and other experienced senior tweakers and felters, what are your thought's on this mod..? Is there any other things we as owners could do to fix the dry clutch plate issue..? how is the oild supposed to get to the plates normally?
