GSX1300B-KING Clutch Noise

Recently? The clutch occasionally makes noise that comes and goes.
It’s especially bad when the engine first starts, they said.

When I removed the filler cap and covered it with plastic wrap to peek inside, something seemed to be rattling.
Not a good sign (*´з`)

When I removed the clutch cover… there were some contact marks.
Yeah, this is scary.

These bolts are so thick? I didn’t remember them being this big.
Plus the tightness seems a bit loose…

But I hadn’t realized this at that point… Actually.

The head of the lower left bolt must have been slightly contacting something.

The cover is undamaged (*’▽’)

The center nut is also firmly secured.

From past images.
What should normally be firmly locked on the opposite plate seems to have loosened over time.

Just to be safe, let me check the inside.

There are parts where front and back matter, so please be careful.

The structure is like this. It’s safer to keep it from being removed too easily.

I applied Loctite firmly to lock it in place.

Then I tightened it firmly to the specified torque and applied additional tightening.

The clutch plates are fine.

Now it’s just a test ride and we’re done~
