I just purchased an 06 ST3s and rode about 3K miles west to east. On the sixth day of riding, a noise started emanating from the clutch assembly. A bit like a gravel mixer, or scraping sound. Intermittent, and not severe, and I rode about 200 miles with this noise.
I took it to a dealer who advised me that it is likely a broken valve spring where part has fallen into the clutch assembly.
I read a few threads on this forum about 05 broken valve springs, and was wondering if others have had similar experiences with 06 ST3's, and if any have had this clutch noise issues.
I'm still in discussions with the original dealer and no work has been done on the bike. Also, learned from this experience that some parts must be shipped from Italy, and can take a week.
Still, a great long ride from the west coast.
