Hi there

As a very new member to this forum I thought I'd post my first minor annoyance with my new CVO SG. I read a post that was posted much earlier in the year so rather than tag that one I thought I'd start one fresh.

Seems a few owners have been bothered by the same problem and the dealers just kinda shrug their shoulders and say they "all do it".

I'm just wondering how easy it is to rectify yourself and exactly what you used to make it work quietly. The rattle particularly on decel is pretty annoying.

I have small circlip pliers to remove the snap ring, but after that I'm not sure what to use. Bike has only covered 200 klms.

Cheers

I had the same problem and the dealer put in a thin plastic washer/shim in there and it solved the problem.

Funny you should mention about the clutch lever rattle. A little annoying is that rattle and I will ask stealership to put a nylon washer on the fitting when I bring in my SE3 for some work in a few weeks time. Thanks for the tip Tyson.
Ride safe all.

Hi there

You wouldn't happen to know what thickness by any chance as in .025" or thicker etc.

I had a local repair shop use a thin copper washer and solved my loose clutch lever.     Can't believe how sloppy it was before the fix.

I made a little washer out of plastic butter tub. I know, I know... sounds trailer-park, but it worked. Tore it apart and didn't know what I'd need until after it was apart. Looked at it and said to myself, " well, this is an easy fix". Put it back together and it's been silent ever since.

Hi there

Well you know what they say: neccessity is the mother of invention and if it works, great! Now you say you tore it apart, so you can tell me what happens after you remove the snap ring and the pin it attaches to? If I then pull the lever out of the housing will there be other bits that fall out or apart? It's a bit hard without an exploded view of the clutch lever assembly.

I have the same problem and after looking at the exploded view, now I still want to know if any of those little parts in the diagram, that don't have part number listed, will fall out if I remove the lever.  Those other parts look like they come as part of the lever assembly (#20) in the diagram.  Are they attached to the lever or will they fall out upon removal of the lever?

This little improvement is on the 'winter to do list'>

[krypto2011]

I never noticed if I had a clutch lever rattle or not. Hell who could here it over the top end rattle these things have anyway???  I know that's a whole different thread but OMG.

[Tyson]

I'm not sure on the thickness of the washer. He just said it was so thin it's more like a shim.

[Cvostu]

That copper washer that was used on my lever had to be sanded down some.   It's very thin but solves the issue.   Mine was really sloppy too.

[dayne66]

What's the ID and OD of this washer.....I'm going to look at work for something that'll work.
