4 signs that your scooter's clutch is broken
When you see the vehicle vibrate quite loudly when accelerating, the vehicle is weak, jerks, accelerates poorly, makes rustling sounds... these are signs of "disease" originating from the scooter's clutch.
1. "Clinking" sound when running at high speed
When driving at a steady speed on a flat road, you detect a clanging sound in the clutch bell. It can be determined that at this time your scooter's clutch has a damaged clutch shoe, because this error is due to the steel plate blocking the clutch shoe not being tight, when running at high speed it will create vibration causing noise.

2. When pulling the throttle, the car vibrates quite a lot
When you pull the throttle up, the car feels like it is vibrating, especially the steering wheel, it vibrates quite a lot, sometimes you can feel the vibration so strong that it can make you turn the steering wheel. The cause of the error is due to uneven pressure on the clutch shoe, causing the shoe to vibrate and hit the inside of the clutch bell.

Due to the long-term error process, the car's clutch is not handled, causing the bearings to wear out, making the car accelerate poorly, the bearing grooves get stuck due to wear, causing the pulley cheeks in the car's clutch to warp. In this case, you need to maintain and repair the car quickly, because continuing to let the error persist will cause danger when using the car and damage the car's clutch more seriously, the repair will be more expensive when replacing spare parts.
3. "Gau dau" boiling sound from the car's pot when running
Sometimes you drive and hear strange sounds like "clack" coming from the clutch of the car, this is a sign that the clutch is damaged. It can be said that this damage is determined by professional mechanics, the front clutch ball bearing on the car is faulty.
If you do not take care of and maintain it quickly, the clutch assembly will be damaged because the clutch shoes will get stuck more and more, causing the friction surface on the shoes to press against the clutch bell, causing wear. Leaving it for a long time will lead to burning or peeling of the friction plate, the clutch bell will be burned black, and many parts in the clutch assembly will be severely damaged, making the vehicle unable to run.

4. Loud banging noise on the car's clutch
Every time you accelerate or release the throttle, a loud "banging" sound is heard right on the clutch, this sign indicates that the clutch is having problems. The cause of this error sound is due to the belt in the clutch being loose or loose when the vehicle is rotating at high speed or slowing down, causing the belt to hit the transmission causing the noise.
When the belt is loose, if not tightened immediately, it will cause the belt to rub against the transmission box, leading to wear and damage, affecting the operation and speed of the vehicle. At this time, you need to maintain and tighten the drive belt on the clutch. In the case of the old belt being loose due to wear, to ensure you should replace the new drive belt to help the vehicle achieve good speed when operating.
