Dry Clutch

... A description of the noise and klunk the bike makes when shifting into first from neutral.

Really,what means the word ''kerchunks''..??

It's an example of onomatopoeia. No help

? It's a word that sounds like what it represents. Bees buzz, snakes hiss, FJRs kerklunk. Although, unlike "buzz" and "hiss", I don't think you'll find "kerchunk" in a normal English dictionary, though "clunk" is.

Oh, yes, the word "onomatopoeia" derives from the Greek "ὀνοματοποιία", "ὄνομα" name, "ποιέω" I make (hope those Greek letters come through).

Not to be confused with the sound of a cash register opening, "Ker-Ching!"

Ha, that sounds just like the ABS self testing or resetting every time I drop below 4 mph on my '93 R1100RSL.

Tried Iele's tip. Pull the clutch in and let it coast.( at speed and keep the RPM up). Tried it just a few times and what a ******* difference it made. None of that clutch soak ******** for me. I owe Iele A 12 pack. I don't deliver.

It kerchunks to let you know how strong it is and to remind you it wants to GO.

This.. it's like opening the door with your dog on a leash..

Tried Iele's tip. Pull the clutch during warm up ...

Have tried this just once, also to great effect.Hoping it continues to work....

 

[jammess]

I'm going to give Lele's method a try as well. That's if it ever quits pouring down rain around here, another 2 inches overnight. 10 day forecast is more of the same. JUST NO FREAKING END!!!!
