To have this fixed contact John - [e-mail] The ring of six steel windows seen moving about is all part of the same plate inside that carries the load from the springs to the clutch bakstet. The plate eats into the aluminium over time so the springs can't do their job of absorbing engine vibration. Whole thing starts to create rather than damp vibrations. The unit then wears loose on the hub with that clacking going on as you ride. This deterioration starts from day one.
