Drilled mine out last week, 22.5mm bit, and i gotta say its much better so much so i have actually decided to leave off buying the upgrade to something that breaks my wallets heart.
took it easy going in with a couple of small size masonary bits just to test it out but then used a special...
update ........
i have been in heaven for the last month. i made a pact with my bike that i would treat her right and sort all her little issues out.
i am pleased to tell all who tried to help me with my little issues that i have no noises or imperfections with her anymore.
i totally...
hi all,
just read this thread as i am having the same issue, is there any more updates as to whether the cleaning helped ? could do with knowing before i start taking stuff apart.
cheers.:thumbup:
my bikes called "keryl" , because i love my bike, it brings me great joy, excites me and is gorgeous to look at just like one of my ex-girlfriends, she was the only one ive ever truly truly loved and the same goes for my bike.
and that is why she is called " KERYL ".
I WILL NOT LOSE MY BIKE...

Hi all ,
FOR SALE,
2008 fz6n s2 , 21000 miles, custom paint job and other bits , including seat , my profile picture is bike concerned.
lovely bike but has to go for personal reasons. has 10 months tax and 10 months mot too. hasn t let me down at all, just had new chain sprocket kit...
all good advice ,
i will however just say that the noise im hearing isnt when i have the clutch in, its when the clutch is in (free wheeling) that the whine stops . like i said its like a clutch release bearing on a car , it then comes back when i let the clutch out.
im going to find a...
The bikes perfect fit for me i reckons , im 5'11" and round 15 stone, it handles great , s2 unfaired so a little windy at times but thats no bother, well not until i spent money on a furryganny jacket and this thing is pretty stiff material , all of a sudden i can become a human windbrake. :eek...
hi,
well i dont know if its drag as such , as i said itsounds like when you r clutch release bearing starts to go in a car , not sure if the same applies without studying up but it engages and disengages fine , doesnt slip on upper gears so the clutch seems ok i think. i will have a go at...
hi,
it was only the front sprocket that was worn in this manner, the sprocket was worn on the outer side (kerb facing not engine facing).it was a good 1/4mm deep and perfected matched the chain. the rear sprocket had the slightest wear but only to the teeth not to either side. the chain had a...
hi all ,
right i have been out on it all last night after stripping down the back end after work, chuck it back together , went through it all with a fine tooth comb , greased , lubed , torqued , aligned and after an hour of riding it was still there . this morning , early start to work , 6am...
ok well sounds like if it is gone then i either prove my love for her and get her split and fixed , or i px in for something else , i really hope it doesnt come down to that though.
i will get it up off the ground and do as you suggested and let you knpow the results.
hopefully all will...
dont have a centre stand but i cant get it off the rear to try that , i will have another go tonight and see if i can pin point the exact place of noise output.
if it is the output bearing , how costly or difficult is it to replace , im always willing to go at it myself as i have a haynes...
