Just Squeaky- Gassers Have Character Like a Ferrari.

The clutch packs can make noise, the pistons can slap around a bit too. An alloy bash plate will redirect everything back up at you.
Add in a few vibrations, sloppy plastics, rad braces, a slightly misaligned pipe, and you get a symphony of sound.
Loosen the chain a bit and hear that slap too!

Don?t forget the clutch squeal. I have a rekluse clutch with a rekluse basket in my 2011 gasser. If I am a gear too high it will squeal like a pig. I have been riding it since 2011 and I have never ever had the slightest problem. I rode a 2018 gasser with a rekluse clutch, when I was a gear to high it would squeal exactly the same way as my 2011,otherwise in the correct gear the gassers never make a sound. My 94 CR 250 has a Rekluse clutch with the torque drive plate system and a Rekluse Basket, it never makes a sound even if I am two gears too high. Go figure.
