I have a loud knock in the bottom end with the clutch engaged. When I let the clutch out it goes away..I inspected the clutch found no issues. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ya but the noise seems very loud... The bike runs fine I just am not used to that loud of a noise...

our xc is rattely as at idle: we think it is back lash chatter in the clutch basket - clutch plates with no load - idle.......... as soon as the clutch is pulled it's quite. The quite stock pipe makes the noise more noticable.

Hey Ron, are you talking about the clutch pack side (right hand) & did you have to replace the housing gasket?
That side is a left hand thread on the crank isn't it?

 

[rocketron racing ktm]

yes clutch side. no for gasket.it is an aluminum nut, left hand thread, on the end of crank
