Cut a piece of cardboard and press fit on the inside of the clutch cover. It will dampen and muffle the sound. Regular cardboard box was a little thick for one of my engines but a pizza box is a bit thinner.

SBP also carries an external rubberized sound dampener that sticks on the outside of the clutch cover. I copied the idea with a black mouse pad but haven't installed it yet.

i was thinking of trying a surfboard traction pad. it's like a neoprene foam with an adhesive backing. there used to be this stuff called "rip grip" that was made for Santa Cruz Skateboards by Astrodeck to protect your poor little fingers when you grabbed your skateboard. it's basically the same thing, adhesive backed neoprene. they've got in on ebay, but i just don't care enough to quiet the noise down.

unless i could find some in orange.

I took a tip from another thread and sprayed the inside of the clutch cover with "rubberized" undercoating. It did reduce the gear whine somewhat.

I wonder whats in this "dampener kit"...

*wanders off to look*

It appears to be mouse pads and tinfoil (sorry, adhesive metallic backing)... and no parts description...
