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

When I removed the filler cap and covered it with plastic wrap to peek inside, something seemed to be rattling.
Not a good sign (*\u00b4\u0437`) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When I removed the clutch cover… there were some contact marks.
Yeah, this is scary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cover is undamaged (*’\u25bd’) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The center nut is also firmly secured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From past images.
What should normally be firmly locked on the opposite plate seems to have loosened over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just to be safe, let me check the inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are parts where front and back matter, so please be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure is like this. It’s safer to keep it from being removed too easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I applied Loctite firmly to lock it in place.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I tightened it firmly to the specified torque and applied additional tightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The clutch plates are fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s just a test ride and we’re done~ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
