hey guys.. so i believe i have found the solution. i took apart my clutch (which i am getting very skilled at doing) and checked for the rubber damper. im pretty new to nsrs/bikes in general, so i didnt even know what they were. so when i checked the different plate which has the grooves for the dampers, surprise surprise.. they werent worn, yep, u guessed it, there were NONE IN SIGHT! no wonder the stupid clutch was making so much noise!

so i guess now i have to go and find 4 rubber dampers.

i only have 2 questions left. well actually three.

1. does this sound like the problem?

2. are mc21SE rubber dampers easily obtainable from bike shops or are they somehow unique? where could i get a set of 4 from.. ?

3. the plate that the dampers should go on is not at the very back, its 2nd to last. should it be at the very back or is there no difference?

thanks for everyone who took the time to reply.
