Slip and assist question
M8 RGS, 3200 miles.
Hearing a "chirp" noise from left side derby cover area upon deceleration with clutch engaged. Does not sound violent or horrible. I had assumed it was the new (to me) clutch design. Does anyone else hear a chirp from this area upon decel? Anything I should worry about?

Chirps are usually belt tension.

That or the chain chirping, I know the noise your talking about, not consistent just occasional and it bugs hell outa me. They will be into the primary when I take mine in for service, isn't right whatever it is.

Check your transmission fluid level and your primary level. The clutch is design to slip some on a hard decel so pay attention to when it does it and let us know.

I mean just for the hell of it, spray some WD-40 on the front engine stabilizer Link.
Mine squeaked like hell when getting on or off of it (throttle).

I will give this a shot, primary and tranny fluids are good. I really don't want the dealer cracking open the primary just to tell me it's the S&A clutch noise and is normal but I may take it in before summer long distance season hits. My concern is it's something that could cause a high speed rear tire lock up. I ride this scoot everyday to work at 70-80 on the hiway and a lockupmeven would be less than enjoyable😄
