    doesn't the vk use a cable clutch ?

    if you rest your foot on the clutch enough till it just takes up does it make a noise then .... has it been making the noise since it was installed or just recently started to make the noise ?

    rubbing sound is a bit vague.. but could be anything from pedal being too dry, to loose clutch plates. Try to locate where the sound is coming from, inside/outside and go from there.

    The old Commos all had a cable driven clutch, not a hydraulic one. When did the hydraulic clutches come in? VN Commos?

    VB-VK use cable, the VL uses hydraulic clutch, then VN-Series II VS use cable. I think late VS's use a getrag gearbox which uses a hydraulic clutch
