I have noticed the past few ride my clutch making a different sound when coasting off the gas, right before clutch lets go. Before, it was a increasingly pulsating belt whining sound before it gave way to a full coast. Now it sounds more like metal rattling in the clutch area before it gives. Switched to a gates belt couple rides ago and it has been working good, for the most part. Haven’t noticed it slipping from dead spot to crawl over rocks like the factory belt did. Anyone have any ideas? Clutch is the one area I’m not real comfortable working on.
