Clutch bearing

[Preston]

Has anyone had any experiance with a noisey clutch bearing? I have an 03 zed with 37K on the clock and I find the bearing to be quite noisey. Are there any warranty issues with them?

I had a noisy clutch bearing when I got the car with 34k on the clock. Clutch has just gone with 50k, so don't think it had too much effect. If you're clutch ain't slipping don't worry too much

It's a common issue with Zeds - most make some noise.

This is a less common fault but mine has done it from new and despite having the bearing changed twice under warranty, it still does it. I have now decided to live with it as it's not a major issue for me.

I had my entire gearbox rebuilt to try and eliminate the noise from the clutch thrust bearing...it improved but still remains, just seems to be a trait of the Zed for some reason.

Mine is positively embarrassing on Idle and take up but the clutch bite is still nice and sharp. Seems to be a common trait in all zeds.
