i took the old girl out for a blast to blow off the cobwebs and started her up on centre stand and with the choke on (revs high while warming ) the rear wheel starts turning but really fast like it's in gear but it's not and it's got a fair bit of torque behind it ( can't slow it or stop it with me boot ) which goes when the clutch pulled in and the wheel slows is this normal ?? my 600 don't do it.
The clutch is very noisy with the lever out ( goes when pulled in ) but it's recently been serviced by Yamaha stealer and I asked them to check the clutch ok due to the noise and it being a new (to me ) bike and to check adjustment. They said clutch was ok when I picked it up and noise was normal.
Gear changes are ok cold but as engine warms the changes get clunkier and neutral a bit harder to find, and sometimes if at lights with clutch in it feels like it's creeping but the lever bite is quite high i.e. As the lever released it bites just prior to the lever going back to its rest position
Also don't know if this is related but vibration is now bad and all fairing in fills vibrating badly when revving and when engine warm it gets worse feeling it through my feet , and higher the revs worse the vibes.
Anyone got any clues ? I've done a search through posts on vibration and there are of course loads that are clutch related but nothing come up on a search for the wheel turning in neutral.
I'm thinking an overhaul of the clutch is on the cards but im grateful for any help or advice
