Clutch "chudder" eliminated

[stevecro]

I think my 2014 Vstrom 1000 has been a great bike among many good bikes I've had.
At 30,000 kms the only negative was a gradually worsening clutch basket chudder that took the shine off the bike for me.
Three weeks ago I dismantled the clutch assembly and three weeks exactly later I'm running around on a bike that feels like new again after sending the unit half way around the world to sort it.   Fortunately my bike has always had perfect fuelling so the only thing to create anything less than a perfect riding experience was the noise when the bike was idling, clutch disengaged, and the vibration that permeated the riding experience at most revs after it had started off at about 2800 rpm and 15,000 kms(by memory).
It's gone and I'm hopeful the fix is permanent.

Good stuff, what remedial work during the the rebuild do you think accounts for the improvement?

Did you use sharealike?

[Brockett]

He lives in Australia maybe.

[kwackboy]

Yes , I had a senior  moment and commented before I noticed his location . Quickly edited ..

But he did say that he sent it half way around the world, so maybe.

[kwackboy]

Like I said ... senior moment .. 

[stevecro]

yes, I used sharealike.
We'd communicated for more than a year before I got around to it (well, I didn't want to pull apart an otherwise perfectly performing bike when I had two other choices as rides.

Thank you for the feedback stevecro.

Baskets from all over the world for modification are a regular thing here. More long distance ones each year from Strom owners in the USA and Canada alone than from here in the UK.

All booked and paid online. Collected by the carriers. Tracking updates sent on the way here so I'm ready to turn them round promptly. Tracked with updates again on their way home. Its no different to posting something off to the next town - but the places some of the international ones go or stop off to change aircraft makes me wish I was there.
