Hello All! I will post a short story first then the full story in the next paragraph. Please help as any would help!
Short Story: Clutch pressure ring bolts carved into OEM clutch cover causing shavings in the clutch mechanism. Bike wasn’t ran for long nor was it really driven, just attempted to drive and put into gear.
Long Story: I installed a clear clutch cover for my Panigale V4 and it for some reason was leaking drops of oil. So as a temporary fix, I put the OEM clutch cover on. I didn’t know however that the clutch pressure plate ring causes the bolts to protrude a little farther out than the OEM hence why the clear clutch cover is deeper. When I tried to put it in gear, it wouldn’t go into gear and when I finally did get it in gear i put some throttle on and it just wouldn’t go anywhere. I could feel something grinding or scraping and I knew something was wrong. I take the clutch cover off to see a bunch of shavings. It seems the shavings are only on the clutch cover and the front part of the clutch.
What do you guys suggest I do? My current plan is to flush all the oil, do like 2 or 3 oil changes, and drop the oil pan and clean it out. Also, to do a deep clean inside my clutch. Is there anything else I should do? Any tips you guys can provide? Please help!
