Clutch creep

kwallace21 · Jun 1, 2020

I have a 2018 GSA and find it really clunk's when selecting first gear. Is there any way to adjust the clutch to stop it creeping when doing this.
Also I noticed in the 26 degree heat today my right thigh was very warm. Looks like it's probably coming off the cat on the right side. It would be welcome in winter but not this weather.

No not really a clunk , more like a plunk , no still normal , my R1 was a lottery of gears ...In all fairness tho I only pleasure ride so never put in neural on the go , only when staring off again from a stop (coffee), but its still normal and not clunky at all.

Clutch

It's got a mere 2300 miles on it.
It's the usual big clunk going into first.
My twin cam did it and so have lost of my bikes but this is worse than the others.

It will be worse than your twin cam as the LC has a wet clutch and I thought this provides an element of drive even when the clutch is pulled?

All wet clutch’s clunk when going into gear in my experience.

klunk is normal.

creep is not normal (ie its in gear , clutch in and bike want to go riding).

Yeah, maybe creep was the wrong description.
It's a big clunk but the bike sits fine with no feeling of pulling.

Try riding a Triumph 1200 Scrambler … You'd forgive your GS anything after that

Could always try this Puig heatshield that fits adjacent to flapper valve to stop some heat on exhaust side.
