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:

Done, but has made me realise I'm a little bit " bah humbug ". Guess i will have to try next year. Hope it helps either way.

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...

i really really hope your right about that . cause this bike is awesome otherwise

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...

hi, cheers for the reply , it started before the chain and sprocket change but it was a lot quieter back then , it seems it got louder since the change. the chain has been checked for the tightness by myself 3 times now so i went and seen my uncle who checked it also (outsiders...

hi again all, right i spent a little money on gear and parts , i have fitted a new chain and sprocket kit on her and now the clicking under my foot has dissapeared totally, it seems that the sprocket was damaged quite a lot , it had worn on one side and had the actual shape of the chain on...

hi, im struggling to work with it properly, i think i need to invest in a proper maintenance stand before i do anything , just been trying with what i have and that is bare minimum. im going to invest in stand and front sprocket , give it the proper check and then work from there. thanks...

hi , i havent done that as a check but i have pulled the chain off the rear sprocket slightly for cleaning the rollers to save me having to get up and roll the bike , (which i eventually had to do to do a proper job), i have to be honest i really had to pull on it to get any free movement...

hi, thanks for the speedy response, the paperwork i got with the bike included a bill for work done , in 2010 june , it had a new oring did chain and new front and rear sprockets . since i have had it i have regularly cleaned and lubed the chain with the correct lube and havent used...
